OUR PROCESS
about ME

I’m Cherisse, realtor and designer behind Risse Design & Co. My journey began with a love for interiors and a deep appreciation for how thoughtful design can shape the way we live. Growing up around my family’s construction business taught me the importance of craftsmanship and detail, while years spent living in Australia instilled in me a love for relaxed, effortless spaces.

Now based at the Jersey Shore, I draw inspiration from coastal living and family life with my husband and two children. At Risse Design & Co., I help families create homes that feel both elevated and easy—where beauty meets function, and every space feels intentionally yours.
