Rendezvous means ‘to gather’ in French, our nexus for curating connection, comfort, and calm in beautiful spaces.
Patricia Kennedy
Kennedy is the Founder and Principal of Rendezvous Design®, an award-winning wellness interior design studio, and the creator of Rendezvous Reserve™, a heritage atelier devoted to gift collections.
Raised in Texas and born into a Dutch lineage of fine art painters, Kennedy developed an early appreciation for cultural heritage while traveling extensively with her family. Years living in Paris and Tokyo, along with travel to more than 35 countries, shaped her appreciation for visual storytelling, craftsmanship, and distinctive character of place.
She earned degrees in English Literature from Wellesley College (cum laude), Interior Design from the New York School of Interior Design (high honors), and Fashion Design at ESMOD Paris (honors), completing a trio of disciplines — story, space, textile — that continues to shape her distinctive approach to design. Kennedy is also an NAHB Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) and holds a Science in Design Certification, pairing proven inclusive design with the neuroscience of how space shapes well-being.
Her career has spanned haute couture textiles in Paris, retail buying at Federated Department Stores, product development at Abercrombie & Fitch headquarters, marketing and merchandising at Levi Strauss Japan in Tokyo. The culmination of these experiences has led to an award-winning interior design practice designing interiors that transform the experience of everyday living.
The Expertise Beneath the Luxury
As a designer with acquired neurodivergence, Kennedy learned firsthand how light, sound, and layout can calm or overwhelm the nervous system. That experience now informs every Rendezvous home: luxury interiors built to support cognition, mobility, and vitality across decades. She speaks nationally on Universal, Inclusive and Neuro-informed Design.
“The most meaningful homes are shaped less by decoration and more by decisions— how space unfolds, how light moves, and how a home quietly supports the nervous system across decades of living.”
