About the Founder
Ronniesha Rivera
I’m Ronniesha, founder and CEO of Vetted By Design. My passion for VBD stems from my own challenges as an interior designer. After years in the industry, I grew frustrated with endlessly searching through Facebook groups and Google just to find the right professionals to hire. I knew there had to be a better way—a centralized platform where designers could easily connect with vetted businesses that cater to our industry. And that’s exactly why Vetted By Design was created.
