Erinn Valencich is the founder and CEO of StyleRow, an online platform that helps connect designers with showrooms and trade professionals. Erinn is also an award-winning interior designer, with a 20-year career in the design industry.
Valencich was born into a family of creatives - their grandfather was a cabinetmaker and their father an architect who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright. This exposure to design from a young age instilled in their a passion for creating beautiful spaces.
After completing their studies at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Valencich founded their own design firm, Erinn V. Design Group, in 2004. The firm quickly gained a reputation for its classic California-style designs, which emphasize craftsmanship and materiality.
In 2013, Valencich took their talents to television, appearing as a contestant on American Dream Builders, a design show hosted by Nate Berkus. Erinn was one of 12 designers competing on the show, which aired on NBC.
Since then, Valencich has continued to grow their business, expanding into home furnishings and launching an online course to share their design knowledge with others. Erinn has also been recognized as a leading interior designer, winning the ARTS Interior Designer of the Year award in both 2016 and 2018.
