Local Designer Expands Services Across Eugene and Willamette Valley
Interior designer Rory Everitt expanded his practice across Eugene and the Southern Willamette Valley and won a regional award, marking rapid growth that could shape local home and restaurant renovation markets. The move matters to residents because it brings more design capacity to area rehabilitation projects, supports local contractors, and signals rising demand for higher end interior work.
On December 5, 2025, Rory Everitt announced an expansion of Rory Everitt Design, extending interior design services across Eugene and the Southern Willamette Valley after a brisk first year of activity. The firm completed more than 20 projects in its first 12 months and was named Best Interior Designer in Eugene, Oregon of 2025 by the Evergreen Awards, recognition that highlighted recent local work including a noted renovation of the Domek Restaurant in Eugene.
Everitt’s background helps explain the firm’s rapid uptake. He holds an engineering degree from Stanford University and spent 15 years in the technology sector working on customer research, interaction design, and project management. His prior roles included management consulting at McKinsey and product and design positions at Adobe, SheerID, and Houzz. Those experiences inform an approach that blends functionality with artistic sensitivity and a respect for natural materials and light. “The ability to collaborate with clients, contractors, and architects is essential for bringing any project to life. Every space I design is a team effort, and I’m grateful for the strong partnerships I’ve built within the community,” Everitt said.
For Lane County residents the expansion means greater local access to an award winning designer for both residential remodels and commercial projects. The renovation of the Domek Restaurant illustrates potential spillovers, as well executed design work can boost foot traffic, support local dining employment, and increase the attractiveness of commercial corridors. For homeowners, professional design often raises effective sale value and can make smaller investments in remodeling yield larger returns.
Local market implications include increased demand for construction labor, specialty trades, and materials. That demand can benefit contractors, suppliers, and permitting offices across Eugene and neighboring towns. It also raises practical considerations for municipal planning departments, as higher renovation volumes require timely permitting and inspections to keep projects on schedule.
An announcement accompanying the expansion included media contact information for readers seeking more details or project inquiries. As the Southern Willamette Valley continues to see reinvestment in older housing and commercial stock, expanded design capacity from firms like Rory Everitt Design will shape how neighborhoods adapt and grow.
