Rebecca Axler is a Toronto-based interior designer and the founder of RTG Designs, a full-service residential design firm specializing in projects ranging from renovations and new builds to room-by-room transformations.

Born and raised in Toronto, Rebecca grew up in the North York area and attended York Mills Collegiate Institute. A lifelong curiosity about design and space, sparked during her parents' home build when she was in grade six, set her on a clear path early. After completing three years of sociology at Dalhousie University in Halifax and a fourth-year exchange at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, she built the portfolio that would earn her acceptance to Parsons School of Design in New York City. She completed the interior design program in 12 months, graduating in 2007.

Her early career in New York included an internship at Haynes-Roberts, a Manhattan-based high-end residential firm, followed by a junior role at Groves and Co. (then operating as S. Russell Groves), a firm whose work appeared on the Architectural Digest Top 100 list. She later worked with Matthew Robbins Design, contributing to the design and production of high-profile events and weddings.

After returning to Toronto, Rebecca launched RTG Designs and built her client base through word of mouth and Instagram. Her practice has grown steadily into whole-home projects and new builds, with a current roster made up entirely of repeat clients. She approaches each project as both designer and collaborator, often taking on a full project management role alongside the design scope.

Rebecca lives in Toronto with her husband and two children.
