Rachel Dougan is founder and principal of ViVi Interiors, a multi-disciplinary design studio focused on mindful transformations for clients who eschew fast fashion for authentic, enduring homes.
Prior to establishing her design studio in 2015, Rachel honed her creative and management experience for over 15 years in corporate leadership roles including: at the global professional services firm Arthur Andersen, as part of the global branding team which developed and launched the company’s first $100M internal rebranding campaign; at the global creative staffing and consulting agency Aquent, where she helped build their creative consulting unit from the ground up and also managed the accounts of their Fortune 500 clients; and at the international development firm Chemonics International where she led the Communication/PR & Branding teams to launch the company’s first rebranding effort in 40 years.
Originally from Vietnam, Rachel and her family scattered around the world after 1975. She feels very fortunate to have grown up with a wealth of cultural influences from Saigon and Bangkok to Lugano and Paris, and eventually, Washington DC, where she studied graphic design at The American University, and began her career in the creative field.
Rachel lives in SW DC with her husband Jim Dougan and their Scottish Terriers Nelson and Murdock (named after the Marvel Comics characters, not the British Naval captain and the news magnate). She enjoys attending and supporting all forms of performing arts (including shamelessly plugging Capitol Cabaret to friends, family and strangers alike) and she can be found intensely nerding out each Wednesday night with her Scrabble buddies.
