Gruval Design

Hi, I'm Valentine, an architectural and interior designer based right here in Raleigh, NC. I help homeowners and businesses bring their spaces to life, from the first sketch to the final finish. Whether you're planning a home addition, converting a room, redesigning a floor plan, or selecting materials and furniture, I handle the full process so you don't have to piece it together yourself. My background covers everything from permit-ready architectural drawings and space planning to interior design, 3D renderings, and FF&E selection (furniture, fixtures, and finishes). I've designed single-family homes, multi-family housing, and commercial spaces, including cafes, always with a focus on functionality, flow, and style that fits how you actually live or work. I'm hands-on from start to finish, and I've worked directly alongside contractors, builders, and inspectors, so I design with real construction in mind, not just what looks good on paper. My work has been recognized at the Oklahoma Design Show House and the Robert Bruce Thompson Lighting Competition. If you're not sure where to start, that's okay- reach out, and we'll figure it out together. I offer a free initial consultation to understand your project and see if we're a good fit.
