After receiving my BFA in Interior Design from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, I immediately jumped into my first interior design job. For several years, I worked in a commercial design firm, and specialized in tenant improvement, health care and corporate office spaces.

I made the jump to residential design in 2001, and have been working to make homes beautiful & functional ever since. My residential design projects range from $1 mil executive new construction down to one window treatment in a dining room - and everything in between. I was a part of the design team on several award-winning model homes during the past 9 years, and my team won the ASID Bronze Award in the Showcase Home category in 2002.

In June 2009, I opened my own interior design studio, T. Larsen Design, LLC, and I have been enjoying the freedom of self-employment. My online portfolio can be viewed at Ava Living, the premier website for all things interior design. I am a Professional Member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), and a Registered Interior Designer in the State of Wisconsin, having successfully passed the NCIDQ exam in 2002.

I currently write a bi-monthly column on interior design and decorating topics for a local publication, Valley Women & Beyond. I am also a contributor to Ava Living, as well as Plinth & Chintz. I write articles for E-How, as well, and I enjoy the opportunity to improve my writing skills. I maintain my company blog, and I enjoy teaching clients about good design - whatever their budget. I will begin teaching community education classes on design topics in early 2010, including courses on color trends, window treatments and design dilemmas.

Outside of interior design, I am a mom of 2 and married to my college sweetheart. I enjoy camping, biking, art, craft of all kind, reading and volunteering with my church, school and library. I enjoy creating, whether through words or through the visual arts. I recently opened my very own Etsy store, after wanting to do so for several years.
