RD Jones and Associates

What RD Jones and Associates does

RD Jones and Associates is a Baltimore-headquartered, founder-owned interior design firm founded in 1996 by Rebecca Jones. The firm offers three integrated service lines — interior design, interior architecture, and FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) procurement — delivered across hospitality (hotels, resorts, timeshares), multifamily residential, senior living, restaurants, country clubs, and corporate office interiors. Its core operations span new construction, renovations, repositioning, and adaptive reuse projects, with the FF&E procurement function delivered through a strategic partnership with Becwood Purchasing.

The firm is small by headcount (approximately 10–15 team members, including two principals — Rebecca Jones and Bernard Holnaider — and four named associates), yet operates a nationally distributed project book covering Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, West Coast, Midwest, and Northeast U.S. markets. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with principals directly managing client development and project execution; named clients include Hilton, Embassy Suites, DoubleTree by Hilton, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn, Watermark, and Ritz-Carlton Residences. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Revenue is derived from professional design fees plus procurement-related income via the Becwood partnership.

RD Jones has no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed AI, software, or data product. Its competitive position rests on the founder's 40+ years of hospitality design experience, principal-led project delivery, repeat brand-name hospitality and multifamily clientele, and industry recognition (Forbes 2026 Top Hospitality Architects & Designers; NAHB BALA Gold; NAIOP MD/DC awards; Senior Housing News, SAGE, and Gold Nugget honors). The firm holds WBENC certification as a women-owned business and is independently capitalized with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
