Honesty. Integrity. Transparency.
Holding honesty, integrity, and transparency as the foundation of every project
Atmosphere Design Co. is an interior design firm solely operated by me, designer, Tessa Gifford. Offering a wide variety of services for builders and homeowners, I have an admiration for all design styles. A true collaboration, I strive to create spaces that feel personal to YOU. Full project or small consult, floor plan change or “no demo reno”—no matter your project size, let me be there to guide you!
With a dedication to honest communication, I believe in building strong and trusting relationships with my clients. I understand the importance of transparency in every aspect of your project, from budgeting to project timelines, ensuring that my clients are always well-informed and involved throughout the design process.
I chose the company name Atmosphere because I know that great design is shaped through evoking emotion by creating a vibe. With function at the forefront, I aim to create beautiful spaces that enhance the lives of my clients. Being a “people person” at my core, I love getting to know each client personally and being able to cultivate a space that speaks directly to their vibe—even if they’re not quite sure what that is yet! From space planning to finish/fixture selection, here at Atmosphere, I can guide you through the full remodeling process.
Dedicated to creating spaces that tell stories, evoke emotions, and truly resonate with the clients
Hi, I’m Tessa!
Hi! I'm Tessa, a designer from the Twin Cities, born and bred in the heart of Minneapolis. My love for design sparked at a young age when I snagged my first 3D rendering program for a rainy day activity. Who knew it would shape my future! After being the creative mind for a remodeling company for 6 years, it was time to start my own journey. When I’m not designing I love to spend time with my family, take a quick trip or you can catch me at home watching a good mystery with my partner Zach, and our cats, Monty and Bandit.
I’m proud to be a diverse face within the construction industry. I believe in collaboration over competition—celebrating everyone within the community. Connecting with people is the most important part of being a designer and I’m truly invigorated by meeting people and hearing their stories—clients and builders alike! I’d love to help you on your next project.
Thanks for stopping by.
