Victoria Shrader
VP of Design Direction & Virtual Integration
vshrader@cantoni.comVictoria Shrader’s passion for design began in childhood, spending countless hours lost in wonder at a family friend’s antique shop. This early spark ignited a lifelong passion, leading her straight into Interior Design school and a fulfilling career spanning over 20 years in the field. A proud member of the Interior Design Society, Victoria is a seasoned professional who thrives on crafting timeless spaces for her clients. “I’ve always said that my design philosophy revolves around creating spaces that endure, regardless of trends and current styles.”
Victoria thrives on the challenge of space planning, particularly in tricky layouts. She approaches each project like a puzzle, meticulously piecing together the perfect configuration best suited to her client’s preferences and lifestyle. In each of her designs, you can expect to find an emphasis on balance, flow, and multisensory experiences. "Good design means you’ve achieved a positive emotional reaction from the viewer, where they can appreciate the space regardless of personal style preferences.”
Both in personality and in design, Victoria thrives in a constant state of contrast, a positive thing when it comes to working at Cantoni. Here, she loves that she never has to say “no” to a client’s design dreams or to her own imagination. Cantoni’s resources are nearly limitless, allowing her to make designing spaces enjoyable and fulfilling.
