Rita Wilkins, also known as “The Downsizing Designer,” is a nationally recognized interior design and lifestyle design expert, and TEDx speaker. In addition to having designed thousands of residential and commercial interiors all over the United States, she spent the last three decades studying, observing, and impacting how people live, work and play in their environments. She is a master of reinventing lives, including her own. Several years ago she was profoundly impacted by a trip to a third world country, “where people had so little but they were happy.” A few years later, Rita downsized from her 5,000 square foot home to a 867 square foot jewel box apartment in Philadelphia. She gave away 95% of her possessions to people who needed them or wanted them. She is now living with 5% of what she once owned – and has never been happier. Rita is the real deal. She walked the walk and when she downsized she, too, experienced the pain of letting go of possessions that she had emotional attachment to. But she also experienced the life-changing benefits and joy of living a simpler life with less. She now has more time, money and freedom to pursue what matters most. In her book, Rita uses the same design principles she has successfully used for over 35 years to help readers think differently about their own lives. She has the rare ability to help people, “see through their invisible walls” of fear, and discover what prevents them from having the life they really want – and deserve. She is an expert in helping people reimagine, reinvent and redesign their lives! Rita is a popular guest on radio, TV, and podcasts reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners, viewers, and readers across the US. A highly sought after thought leader on the baby boomer generation and the movement to live abundantly with less, she is a regular contributor to business and lifestyle publication blogs. A dynamic transformational speaker, she authentically connects with her audiences, inspiring them and empowering them to live the life they love… by design. Rita lives in the heart of historic Philadelphia, loves her new life as a city girl. She is the proud mother of two happily married sons and is excited about being a new grandmother. Always creating something new and challenging, she just spent 30 days in the south of France prototyping a new location independent lifestyle, Work 3 and Play 4.
