principal designer, owner

My education and professional experience are in interior design, account management, and sales leadership. I have a passion for excellence in all that I do. My unwavering philosophy is that my clients deserve the best service, care, communication, and design. I am committed to provide you with just that.

Many clients have a sense of what they want their home to look like, but lack the time and energy to make it happen. Its my job to spend all the time it takes to gain a thorough understanding of your goals, rhythms of life, personal style and aesthetic preferences. I present proactive ideas and solutions grounded in design best practices without forcing my style into the equation. This is your home and I am here to support and elevate your vision.

client testimonials

We were in the middle of remodeling our kitchen when I reached out to Tara for help. Working on my own, I found it difficult to stay ahead of our contractor with decisions that needed to be made and I found myself choosing things similar to what I already had. This is never the desired outcome for a kitchen makeover. Tara came alongside, listened to our ideas, helped us solidify a plan and collaborated with our contractor which helped everything run more efficiently. With her help we were able to avoid some costly mistakes and implement new and fresh ideas to make our home more beautiful. I’m looking forward to working with Tara on future projects as we continue to update our home.

What I appreciated about working with Tara is her willingness to take the time and effort to give me the look that I wanted. She has worked with me on two properties and literally went shopping with me to help me determine paint colors, backsplash options, and trendy accessories. I appreciate her patience and commitment to the finished look, and I have gotten tons of compliments on both properties from the people who visit. Adorne is great!

How do you approach design projects?

This is your home; my primary function is to elevate and enhance your vision. I focus on understanding your goals, rhythms of life, personal style and aesthetic preferences, and then channel that information into a unified design strategy. I present proactive ideas and solutions grounded in design best practices without forcing my style into the equation.

Do you work with all types of homes & styles?

The best thing about being a designer is I get to work with all types of homes and architecture. Whether you own a sprawling suburban estate, lake house, condominium or quaint historic home, we work within all home styles and aesthetics.

What can an interior designer do that I can’t do on my own?

Interior design includes an overwhelming number of decisions that need to harmonize with each other. We eliminate the uncertainty from the design process, saving you time, energy, and often money. By choosing our Full-Service design package, you gain the advantages of stunning design without the stress of project management, order handling, or installation logistics. All of these details are expertly managed for you.

How do you charge?

“What will I pay?” is one of the questions nearly every client thinks about before hiring a designer- especially if they’ve never done so before. As with all custom products and services, there are a myriad of variables to consider within the scope of work in order to get to an estimate. This is why we recommend scheduling a free, 30-minute phone consultation so we can better understand your needs and desires. We communicate all pricing up front before starting design work or making purchases on your behalf so there are no surprises.
