MARILYN G. RYAN
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Marilyn discovered her passion for design at a young age, constantly reimagining the layout of her childhood room—even asking her parents for a smaller bed to create more space for different “zones.” With over 20 years of professional experience, she brings that same love of space planning to her role as CBA’s Interior Designer. A graduate of Smith College with a BA in Art History, Marilyn entered the field through what she fondly calls “the back door,” developing a specialty in fitting client programs into available space like a well-crafted puzzle.
Originally from Framingham, MA, Marilyn enjoys spending time with her family and new grandbabies, along with reading, gardening, hiking, and skiing. She also volunteers at local events when time allows. One of her proudest career milestones is her work on the Westfield River Elementary School project.
Known for being creative, collaborative, and resourceful, Marilyn values CBA’s culture of teamwork and dedication. “Everyone on staff gives their best, cares deeply about the projects and clients, and is committed to delivering an outstanding result—and we truly enjoy working together.”
