About

Lee Victoria Interiors is the decorating studio of Victoria Elizabeth Ruffino. 

Victoria grew up in New York City in a family of fashion and design.  She shared a close bond with her grandmother Rosalie who was an extremely talented seamstress with an exceptional skill for beadwork and detail.  She taught Victoria how to sew and inspired her discerning eye for detail. 

And Victoria still has garments and dresses made by her grandmother. 

Victoria is ever inspired by her glamorous mother, Lee Victoria Galdi, who introduced her to the arts and to the finer things in life at an early age.  As a young girl, Lee would walk 5th Avenue, study the newest fashions in the Saks Fifth Avenue windows, and then recreate those same pieces.  With a larger than life personality, a natural talent for design and an unshakeable determination, Lee ran a successful design and decorating business and a custom furniture studio in New York City from the 1970s through the 1990s.  She had exquisite taste, an eye for classic design, modern quality and an exceptional resume of clients and projects.  With an emphasis on bold color and design, quality construction and comfort, Lee taught Victoria how to mix quality antiques and personal treasured pieces with modern design elements, creating truly unique interiors.

And Victoria has many beautiful pieces designed by her mother. 

Despite a natural passion and talent for art and design, Victoria knew from a young age that she wanted to devote her work to helping and healing others.  Victoria is a registered nurse, a nursing professor and yoga teacher.  Along with raising four beautiful children and keeping an exceptionally decorated home, she had an outstanding nursing career. 

Following in her mother’s footsteps, Victoria was inspired and energized to pursue her passion and talent for design and decorating and to create her own decorating studio.  It also through design that Victoria continues her career, bringing health and healing into the home.  Victoria is a certified interior decorator with a lifetime of design experience, from shopping with her mother as a child to decorating her first home to creating custom furniture pieces for family and friends.  Victoria’s style is bold and colorful, simple never cluttered, international eclectic with an emphasis on custom art and furniture and creating healthy and inspiring spaces. 

Today Victoria brings a wealth of décor knowledge to her design inspirations.  Victoria will work with you to bring your design vision to life beyond your expectations and make your home a place of beauty and healthy living which reflects your personal style and aesthetic.
