About Swell Curations and Founder, Rebecca Fraser
Hi, I’m Rebecca, founder of Swell Curations, a boutique design firm inspired by a love of timeless, modern California style and an unwavering commitment to creating spaces that feel as good as they look. My approach is rooted in my background in hospitality, where I learned that exceptional customer service isn’t just a skill—it’s a mindset. It’s shaped how I work with clients, ensuring their journey is as seamless and enjoyable as the stunning results we achieve together.
Growing up surrounded by construction and inspired by my father’s skill as a carpenter, I fell in love with the process of bringing ideas to life. From the smell of sawdust to the sound of a hammer meeting wood, I learned to appreciate the beauty of craftsmanship and the satisfaction of seeing a vision take shape. Today, I carry that same passion into every design project, blending functionality, elegance, and care to create spaces my clients can’t wait to call home.
As a self-proclaimed homebody, I deeply value the importance of investing in personal spaces. Your home should be a sanctuary—a place that welcomes you at the end of the day, inspires you to unwind, and invites loved ones to gather. I believe in curating homes that reflect your personality and become the backdrop to your most cherished memories.
Beyond the design itself, I pride myself on being an advocate for my clients, serving as the bridge between them and their contractors, vendors, and tradespeople. Navigating construction projects can be overwhelming, but I’m here to ensure the process is smooth, transparent, and stress-free—so you can focus on the excitement of seeing your dream space come to life.
When I’m not designing, you can find me exploring National Parks, relaxing on Maui’s sunny beaches, or wandering the storybook streets of France, Italy, and Switzerland. At home in Carlsbad, California, I share life with my husband and our three cats, Lou, Vin, and Mookie.
At Swell Curations, we’re not just creating beautiful homes—we’re crafting experiences that leave you inspired, at ease, and truly at home.
We were recently voted a best designer in Ranch & Coast Magazine and received a Quality Business Award in Interior Design for 2024.
