Rita Christensen
Interior Designer
The Bô Casa
Working as a banker in Dubai, Rita Christensen was accustomed to dealing with high-net-worth individuals’ financial portfolios. One such client, a sheik, had recently purchased 48 homes in a GL community. When the designer hired to decorate the models failed to deliver, Christensen took on the project with her typical enthusiasm.
Eight model homes and three months later, the project was completed with rave reviews, and Christensen was promoted at the bank. During a subsequent vacation to Florida, she met her future husband and decided to move to America, where she pursued a degree from New York School of Interior Design and launched a new career.
Since 2013, Christensen has been immersed in high-end and modern interior design projects at her firm, The Bo Casa, where her ability to balance the simple to the elaborate has yielded stunning results and national acclaim. “While Dubai had a manufactured gold, extravagant look, my tastes are more natural and neutral, which I incorporate into my clients’ projects. I spend hours in the first complimentary consultation listening intently to uncover their goals. I then provide them with a manifesto of design elements to envision their masterpiece in the making,” she explains.
Utilizing a blend of unique furnishings and finishes, lighting and accessories to create stunning, one-of-a-kind residences, Christensen’s projects exude the perfect combination of balance and function. Each exquisite home reflects the finest European accents curated from her vendors in Italy and Portugal—chosen for their superior inventory and artistry, and the 30-40% savings which Christensen graciously passes on to her clients.
