Our team

Erik Rueda is the founder and creative force behind Rueda Design. What began in 2013 as a one-man operation in a modest garage has evolved into a thriving team of 20+ designers and builders working from a spacious Chelsea, MA facility just minutes from downtown Boston.


Under Erik’s leadership, Rueda Design has grown into a versatile design lab serving clients across the globe, from Chicago to London to Bahrain. The team has tackled projects for Fortune 500 companies, local homeowners, and everything in between, always prioritizing creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation.
