If you’re here because you wish your house would magically feel like home, you’re in the right place. Self-ish Living sprung to life from many seeds, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Tashia, Self-ish Living Designer and Owner.

My life has been a kaleidoscope — in geography, education, career, and personal/family development — and one of my greatest joys in life is weaving together experiences and expression, so my designs can easily flex with my clients. No one-note design here.

I started my career in graphic design, online communication, and marketing. After welcoming my second son to the world, I left the corporate world to join a residential designer and architect. We worked together as a small but mighty team for nine years, bringing hundreds of remodel projects to life, learning valuable lessons with every project and bringing so many families more beautiful and functional homes.

I am now thrilled to bring my experience and expertise to you through Self-ish Living, an interiors shop delivering curated solutions for your unique needs. Whether you need an interior refresh or a full overhaul, I will guide you through the design process, curate finishes, and manage construction. 

My goal for your space is to reflect and truly meet the needs of you and your family. Every mood board, finish meeting, and design is different because every house should truly feel like home for its inhabitants. 

As a mom (of boys and fur babies), partner, wellness and environment lover, and professional, I wear all those hats when I make design and product recommendations. If I wouldn’t do it in my own home, I’ll steer you right because I understand, truly, that every project is an investment of precious time and resources. It’s a big deal to you, and it matters to me that we get it right.

While smart investment for resale is a minimum requirement for any project, I also pledge to steer you in the direction of beauty, function, longevity, and liveliness in our work together. Home should always be the place we feel most vibrant and ourselves, hence the name “Self-ish Living!” If you’re not there yet, let’s bring you home.

Let's get

Acquainted.

the
process

We'll create options for your updated floor plan, with renderings to help you better visualize the new spaces. From there, we'll finalize your new floor plan and move into finish selection. You will review a material board and physical samples with me, and we'll play and edit until we land on a finish plan that's gobsmackingly beautiful and perfectly you. We'll get to work on quoting finish materials, and you'll share your plans for construction bids. (Don't worry: I've got great contacts for you.) You'll approve selections and budget, and then we'll place orders.

Design

We'll dive right into your vision (even if it's not crystal clear just yet), pain points, desires, preferences, and unique style. We'll gather our research — what works and what doesn't about the current space, who are the stakeholders, what are your needs and wants, and how does your household approach style and function? From there, I'll get to work on a mood board to unite us all around future direction.

Discovery

At your consultation, we'll walk through your space, discuss your wish list and budget, and answer your questions about how we might work together and what you can expect from Self-ish Living. You'll let me know if you would like to see a proposal, and I'll measure and document your space when you're ready to get started.

Consultation

We like to schedule your construction start date for anywhere between one to three months after placement of finish orders to be sure the build process goes smoothly and swiftly. Your contractor will provide you with a construction schedule, and we'll be there every step of the way with you and your build team, ensuring that our plans and vision are coming to life seamlessly and on time. 

As the construction phase closes, we'll complete a punch list walkthrough with you and your contractor to see that all the finishing touches are wrapped up. Our team will be there to roll out the red carpet (or whatever gorgeous rugs you've fallen for), get your belongings placed just so, and welcome you into your rejuvenated space in joy and celebration.
