A little bit about Mikell Rice of Mikell Rice Interiors
An entrepreneurial spirit runs in Mikell’s family— along with creativity. Raised in the DC area by parents who owned a graphic design company, Rice embraced her affinity for interior design after the loss of a close friend in 2011. Mikell enrolled in the master’s program at the Corcoran College of Art and Design and graduated in 2013. She worked at Alexandria design firm Ivy Lane and then for the Bethesda interior designer Erica Burns before going out on her own in 2019.
