We stay ahead of the curve with ongoing education, partnerships with industry leaders, and cutting-edge technology that allows clients to visualize their dream space before it becomes reality.

Every project is unique, just like the people we serve. While our portfolio spans the globe, we frequently work in the Berkshires, New York City, Connecticut, and Greater Boston. Wherever the project, our mission is simple: to design interiors that exceed expectation, inspire joy, and feel like home.

Joanne Riley, A.S.I.D. is the founder, owner, and lead designer of The Interior Edge. Her decades of design training, global travel, and commitment to self-development have shaped a practice defined by custom design and long-lasting client satisfaction.

Joanne’s aesthetic and methodology are rooted in a lifetime of diverse experiences. Growing up, she experienced two dramatically different family homes. The first, a Dutch Colonial in the bustling heart of New York City, was steeped in tradition and style, with interiors crafted by her mother. Later, her parents lifelong New Yorkers designed and built a groundbreaking contemporary home on 144 acres in the Berkshires. With its 95 angular windows and suspended fireplace, it was far ahead of its time. For Joanne, one of six children, the space was liberating, though adjusting to country living at 14 was no small task especially when trying to keep mud off her beloved purple platform shoes.

From the Berkshires to the world stage, Joanne carved out a successful equestrian career, earning a Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Studies and competing at the grand-prix level of dressage. Her travels—particularly in France, which she fondly embraces as a self-proclaimed Francophile further broadened her perspective before she refocused her passion toward interior design.

With deep family roots in furniture retail, Joanne possesses a discerning instinct for selecting quality furnishings, paired with a natural eye for space, proportion, and style. She refined her skills at Paier College of Art Graduate School and trained under two of New York’s most elite designers before establishing her own studio. Her ability to intuitively understand her clients’ needs, paired with her design expertise, has led to enduring relationships The Interior Edge still serves her very first client.

Joanne is an award-winning member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and a Certified Feng Shui Professional (CFSP), having earned her certification in Beijing, China. Her work has been published both nationally and internationally, and she holds the distinction of being the very first designer to be featured on the cover of ASID’s magazine, ICON.
