About Me

Maria Ripepi Diven

Realtor & Interior Designer

 
 

here's my story…

I have always had a passion for the built environment, whether architecture, design or real estate. I first studied Architectural Restoration at the Pennsylvania State University, and then received an MFA in Interior Design from the George Washington University.

For the past decade I have been running my own design consulting firm, Diven Design Studio, and have recently joined Piatt Sotheby’s International as a Sales Professional. For 15 years I also taught Interior Design as a professor at La Roche University.

As you can see, I’m quite passionate about what I do. I love helping others find comfort, joy and happiness in their homes. It’s such an important part of all of us.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family - husband and 3 kids. We love travel, hiking, fishing, skiing and dreaming. And if I’m not with them, you’ll often find me outside running, where I’m clearing my mind and envisioning my next design project.

Let me help you discover and envision your dream home!
