What does the future of design hold in store? According to designer Tiffany Thompson (@theplantmami)—one of eight emerging talents we’ve showcased in our May issue—symbiosis is key. The spaces she creates are a genuinely collaborative effort between designer and client. “It really isn’t about me,” Thompson says, “but about how my work can inspire others to be the best version of themselves.” Founded in 2019, her firm Duett Interiors—based in Portland, Oregon—has crafted cozy, livable interiors for families from Minnesota to Miami. Pro athletes and sporting—goods institutions have become her most loyal clients, as she’s designed offices for Nike and homes for NBA stars like D’Angelo Russell. Later this year, she’ll be expanding her profile with the release of a line of furniture and homewares.
