Tamara Romeo
Marketing Maven & Branding Bada*s Who Built a Successful Interior Design Firm
My name is Tamara Romeo, but, at work, I’m known as “The Design Boss.”
Over a dozen years ago, I founded an award-winning commercial interior design firm and, for over a decade, have been known as San Diego’s resident interior design expert, helping business owners create spaces in which employees thrive and clients feel comfortable. Having completed over 3 million square feet of projects in San Diego, I’ve designed some of the most memorable spaces around town….and the globe.
This success came after a huge life & career-altering shift in mentality at the age of 39 in which I rethought everything in my life. This reevaluation started with the simple question, “Why not?” and led to a major power pivot that helped me to find my true passion, launch my own company, and take on the second half of my life with gusto.
I have successfully worked with both large international companies and small start-ups to build brilliant brands and improve performance, increase productivity and enhance employee experience. As our world deals with COVID and its lingering effects, it’s vital to re-imagine both our work and home environments in this new, hybrid-work era as well as where ‘home’ becomes the multi-functional command center for family, work, study, fitness & wellbeing, personal growth and social connecting.
