CEO and interior designer at Summit Wood Creations

Reyna Badillo鈥檚 appreciation for interior design and furnishings began early in her life with a very special gift.

鈥淲hen I was a little girl, my grandmother bestowed upon me a handmade dresser with a mirror that belonged to my mother. It was a piece of rustic furniture that had been with my family for four generations. It was indeed a priceless gift, and I loved it! I knew it would always have a special place in my heart. And, so it began my love affair with furniture and architectural woodwork,鈥� she said.

Summit Wood Creations started as one of Portland鈥檚 first rustic furniture manufacturers with a showroom in the Sellwood area. It has since evolved into a commercial construction company that provides custom wood furniture, casework and millwork for commercial and residential owners, primes, architects and interior designers throughout the Pacific Northwest.

A member of the Professional Business Development Group, Badillo graduated from the Port of Portland鈥檚 Small Business Mentor-Prot茅g茅 Program in 2020. She has completed projects for Nike, TCore PDX and Meyer Memorial Trust.

Vicqui Guevara, PBDG board member and president of Valley Growers Nursery & Landscape, is a mentor for Badillo and helped her learn various facets of business operations. She noted that Badillo has worn many hats during her 20 years in the construction industry.

鈥淪he has taken steps to grow slowly and has demonstrated her capability and capacity to manage and perform bigger projects for successful commercial and public works over $1 million annually,鈥� Guevara said.
