Rina Capodieci-Quinn
Owner/Principal Designer
Rina is an ASID (American Society of Interior Design) certified interior designer who holds a Bachelor of Science degree from one of the strongest interior design programs in the area, The University of Bridgeport. Unlike many others, Rina is a designer who knew her intended career path from a very young age. As a teenager she was constantly redesigning her bedroom; repainting, rearranging, and even stapling bed sheets to her walls as if to upholster them—a make-shift version of what she does now.
Rina isn’t your regular one-stop designer, she does it all. After graduating with Cum Laude status in 1987, she hopped right into the design world working for the highly renowned Barbara Ostrom. Just three years later she ventured on her own, opening a well-respected firm, Higher Limit Design, Inc. Which coincided with her retail showroom Rina’s Armoire.
No project is too big for her because her knowledge goes beyond the creative. She regularly collaborates with builders and architects to ensure any project she’s on comes together seamlessly. Her range as a designer includes renovations, complete knock down to turn-key builds, and commercial projects such as the Rockleigh Country Club.

What Vendors Are Saying…
It has been a pleasure working with Rina Capodieci/RCQ Design over the past 6 years. As a multi-line rep I’ve found both she and her capable team, to be most receptive and interested in seeing/learning about new products, so as to be able to share with her clients in their projects.
