Tessa’s design experience and empathetic approach ensure each project is thoughtfully considered, entirely individual and curated specifically to the client’s needs. She is skilled at workshopping with stakeholders and turning this into a brief, then translating these requirements spatially into beautiful designs that deliver and exceed expectations. All while carefully working within the specific constraints of the projects.
