CITRA was founded by Andrew Deming and Rachel Gant, longtime collaborators and partners in both life and design.

Previously, they co-founded YIELD, a housewares brand recognized for reimagining everyday objects with clarity and modern sensibility. Following YIELD’s acquisition in 2022, they shifted focus from products to places—bringing their shared eye for detail and atmosphere into architecture and development.

Today, Andrew and Rachel lead CITRA across residential and commercial design, product development, and long-term stewardship of their spaces. Their work reflects a belief in design not as trend, but as a form of care.
