A native of Southern California, Toni-Marie has an intuitive feel for her surroundings. Growing up in a family of talented builders, she developed a “hands-on” understanding of the process. She furthered her design education at the Interior Design Institute in Newport Beach, California, and spent several years as a designer for Butera Living of Rancho Santa Fe prior to starting her own firm in San Diego.

Toni believes teamwork between designer, contactor, vendor resources and client is paramount for a successful end result. Toni-Marie has developed a strong working relationship with numerous local contractors and furnishing design centers in an effort to offer her clients a plethora of interior design options.

Working with architects and contractors is something Toni-Marie particularly enjoys because it means her work can be integrated smoothly into the overall plan. From basic design principles to personal accents, Toni shapes interiors into functional, yet familiar, environments.
