OUR TEAM

HEATHER TAVERAS

LEAD DESIGNER

Having grown up on the California coast, the beautiful landscape shaped Heather's desire to work in the design industry. Heather has a BFA in Interior Design, and understands how design can elevate an individual’s everyday experience. The best part about Heather is that she is left AND right brained and not only understands how to create a client's space, but is an expert at managing client expectations, timelines, and making sure no detail is left behind.

 

When Heather is away from our design studio, she enjoys the outdoors, yoga, and painting.
