Regaina Thompson

Regaina is the steady force behind the scenes at IONIC DeZign Studios, helping keep the day-to-day flow organized, focused, and moving forward. Known as the “Chaos Coordinator,” she works closely with the owner to keep priorities aligned and the pace of the firm on track—playing a key role in keeping everything running smoothly.

Originally from the Midwest, Regaina moved to the East Coast in 1989 and settled in Virginia Beach in 1995, where she and her husband raised their four children. Married for 37 years, they are now proud grandparents to ten grandchildren.

With a lifelong entrepreneurial spirit, Regaina has spent most of her adult life self-employed. From running a daycare and teaching private flute lessons to building a successful 14-year career in real estate and working in various sales roles, her experience is rooted in adaptability, discipline, and people-first thinking.

When her husband founded IONIC in 1999, Regaina helped build the business from the ground up—something they often call their “fifth child.” That same commitment continues today, as she supports the internal rhythm and structure that allows the team to do what they do best: design high-performing, thoughtful spaces.

Outside of IONIC, Regaina and her husband enjoy running and traveling. She also has a deep passion for health and wellness, shaped by personal experiences with family health challenges. Her ongoing focus on nutrition and fitness reflects her commitment to living well and setting a strong example for her family.
Behind every fast-moving team is someone keeping it all together—and at IONIC, that’s Regaina.
