Hello!
My name is Abby Masi.
I am a New England-based licensed Interior Designer with over 10 years of commercial design experience.
When I'm not designing, I am working as a full-time Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth where I teach design studios and technology classes to Interior Architecture students.
Whether I’m teaching about the fundamentals of design or working on an Interior Design project, I truly love what I do and can’t wait for the next challenge.
Please explore my site, and contact me if you are interested in working together!
What's in a name?
The name “Roobedu” is a mix of my three dog’s names: Ruggles (who we often call “Roo”), Berry, and Dusty. At least one dog is always at my feet whenever I’m designing, so I thought it was fitting to name my design studio after them.
