About Tara Dyer

For the past 13 years I’ve worked in the general field of home improvement and interior design. For the past eight years especially I’ve been immersed in the world of home remodeling and kitchen and bath design. I\'ve done freelance work as an interior design consultant throughout the years, specializing in surfaces design, furniture and art arrangement, and color concepts. My professional experiences have exposed me to a wide range of knowledge that has helped me become a better designer. I know I’ve succeeded when my customers leave grateful and happy that the design process was not an overwhelming burden but rather a pleasurable, inspiring process of discovery they remember fondly. Specialties: Bath and Kitchen design
