Meet The Team
Tristan Gary
CEO and Director of Design
Tristan Gary is an award-winning interior designer passionate about creating stylish, custom-curated spaces with unexpected moments. She has fourteen years of experience in custom residential design-build, bringing clients’ dreams to life in the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and Washington DC. She was recently recognized as a design influencer and was celebrated as a 2022 ‘Design Hound’ at KBIS; she traveled to Germany with The NKBA to KuchenMeile and Italy with a small chosen group of designers with the Vette Group.
Tristan's journey to becoming an interior designer is a testament to her resilience and determination. She received her B.A. in Interior Design from Seattle Pacific University during the challenging real estate market of 2008. Undeterred, she launched Tristan Gary Designs in 2009 and enthusiastically pursued her interior design dreams, defying the odds.
Tristan, hailing from Texas, brings more than just her design expertise to her clients. Her warm personality and Southern hospitality make her interactions with clients personal and meaningful. Her designs, uniquely inspired by her global travels and experiences living in South Africa and England, reflect this personal touch. Her unique expertise takes a home from studs to staging, turn-key.
Tristan runs the business with her husband, Seth, and lives in Seattle, WA, with their three boys.
