Blanche Garcia
Famously known as a designer who goes against the grain in an industry so fixated on trends, Interior Designer and Entrepreneur Blanche Garcia's aesthetic is not one that can be labeled. Instead, her design is looked upon as a lifestyle that is individual to her and especially to each of her clients.
Long before her days as a successful Interior Designer, Garcia found her love of construction while volunteering at the age of 12 for nonprofit building projects around the country with her mother. It was there that she learned to develop construction crafts such as electrical, drywall and tile work, among many others.
Her determination paved the way for Blanche to study Interior Design, obtaining a degree in the field from Willsey Institute of Interior Design and Berkley, New York. Having a knack for intuitively knowing how a client's space should look, feel and function – Blanche works to help them create a space that is all about them and is a reflection of who they are and how they feel about life.
The secret behind Blanche Garcia's success is that, unlike other designers, she believes design should say something about the people experiencing it, not about the person designing it. Her design philosophy and approach urges clients to not only envision designing a space for someone else, but also designing a life they want to live. To Blanche Garcia, every decision in her work has a purpose—every fixture, every color and every piece of furniture has a reason to help tell your story.
In 2011, Garcia starred as a contestant on the season 6 interior design reality competition series "Design Star," on HGTV. It was there, where she introduced to the world her unique style of mixing eco-friendly materials with touches of luxury.
Today, Blanche is a certified Interior Designer with over 22 years of experience in hospitality, residential, and commercial design and is the owner of B. garcia Designs based in Montclair, New Jersey. She is a "Green Design" LEED Accredited Professional through the United States Green Building Commission. She is also a member of ASID and a "WELL AP" design professional, which utilizes healthy concepts to promote human health and wellness within the built environment.
Blanche was also the principal designer featured in the popular Travel Channel reality series, "Hotel Impossible" for five seasons, where she helped tackle the job of revamping hotels along with host, Anthony Melchiorri. Her newly authored book AKA her current passion project "Empowered Design: A Design Plan for Living" is inspiring people around the world.
HGTV named her one of their Faces of Design in 2017. Blanche and her firm B. garcia designs is also the proud recipient of the American Society of Interior Designers "Design of Excellence" Award in multiple categories. Her client list ranges from members of the New York Jets to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey", to corporations, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and homes all over the world. Most notably is her recently completed Wyndham TRYP Hotel located in Newark NJ. She has been featured on the cover of Montclair Magazine, and in the pages of Boutique Design Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, US Magazine, Red Book, Latina, Design NJ, and more.
Blanche Garcia currently resides blocks away from her office in Montclair, New Jersey, along with her Chihuahua Maddox, who serves as the Director of Office Morale.
