Rick Anthony Bonner earned a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design in his native Michigan and was recruited by international design firm SmithGroup. After his subsequent tenure as Interior Designer with Ralph Lauren, Rick relocated to Atlanta, where he taught design at the college level while launching his own brand, BONNER. He later took the optimism and passion of his eponymous brand to Atlanta’s Insidesign, where he transformed the in-house interiors practice while serving as Creative Director.
Looking ever forward, Rick now devotes his energies to rethinking the 21st-century American home as he designs residences, communities, and neighborhoods in cities across the country, from Seattle to Bethesda. His foray into architectural design leverages his established reputation for comfort, modernity, luxury, and a timelessness that embodies his dedication to function, beauty, and real value.
