Raili CA Design is a testament to the passion and love for eclectic California interior design that former fashion executive Raili Clasen is known for. After a successful career with Quiksilver and Paul Frank, Clasen co-founded the trendy housewares brand Alice Supply Co. Her transition into the interior design business was seamless and catapulted by the press around her first home project.

Raili CA Design is a full-service interior design firm specializing in new construction, complete remodels, and the occasional cool vintage cottage renovation.

In this episode, Nada sits down with Raili to talk about becoming an interior designer in her late 40s and authorship at 60. Raili shares her sales background in the surf world and recalls being constantly drawn to the creatives in that field, sparking an inner desire for design. Later, she and her best friend launched a wildly popular home and tools product line. The PR success of that business opened the door to her first interior design project. Now, at age 60, she leads a business with a boldness and confidence she never had in her earlier years. Raili also shares her top design tips and encourages us to pursue our dreams, no matter our age.
