Interior designer, design-build leader, problem solver, and your calm in the construction storm.

I’m Tristan Gary — founder of Tristan Gary Designs, where we craft deeply personal, high-functioning homes that live as beautifully as they look. My path into design wasn’t linear (global detours included), but it’s what shaped my perspective: thoughtful, lived-in luxury rooted in clarity, craftsmanship, and soul.

From Texas to South Africa to London and now the Pacific Northwest, I’ve carried with me one belief: beauty and utility aren’t at odds — they elevate each other. In 2009, I launched this business with equal parts passion and determination. Today, it’s a boutique firm known for layered interiors, smart space planning, and full-service design-build expertise.

Clients come to me for whole-home remodels, new builds, and bold ideas — and they stay for the way I lead: with transparency, decisiveness, humor, and an unshakable calm no matter how big the challenge. I’m here to bring your vision to life while keeping the process human, grounded, and — dare I say — even enjoyable.
