Tara Diamond Cain

Founder and Principal Designer

Tara creates fresh, timeless environments for clients that effortlessly marry beauty and function. With meticulous attention to detail, she loves shepherding projects from start to finish to make the design journey seamless and fulfilling for her clients.

A Minneapolis native, Tara honed her eye living in Berlin and Atlanta for over a dozen years with her family, absorbing the ways those cities honor history and embrace modern design. She found additional inspiration traveling the world and developed a deep appreciation for architecture, art and different cultures. Through this sophisticated lens, Tara works collaboratively with architects, builders and craftspeople to bring her client's vision to reality.   

Before embarking on a design career nearly a decade ago, Tara worked in business which instilled in her the importance of efficient processes, project management and deliverables. Whether marshaling a custom home from the ground up, doing a complex renovation, or finishing a few rooms, Tara strives to provide immeasurable value by stewarding her clients' time, energy and investment.

Kailey Mauser

Associate Designer

Kailey believes the cornerstone of a successful project lies not only in creating enduringly stylish spaces but also in building a relationship with clients to anticipate their needs and preferences even before they do. She enjoys sourcing unique materials and is drawn to natural finishes, soothing palettes and timeless interiors that create feelings of connection, sanctuary and beauty. Personable and infectiously positive, Kailey is a mother of two who left corporate communications to follow her passion for design. She has not looked back.
