WE ARE THE LEADING INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM IN LAKE TAHOE

“What a fun and talented designer! I was impressed with her organization and attention to detail. She kept an eye on progress and listened to suggestions we had along the way.” – Nat A.

I Am Talie Jane * edit

Talie is “Natalie” without the “Na” and Jane is my middle name. I started Talie Jane Interiors in 2009 and have since worked to create comfortable, luxurious and sophisticated environments for my clients..

Beginning in Chicago and moving to Lake Tahoe, our firm understands various design styles and mixes and matches according to the tastes and preferences of our clients.

We have several simple beliefs, which affect everything we do. We believe in listening to and understanding our clients. We believe in an analytical AND creative approach to design challenges. We believe that each space should tell a story in an artistic and beautiful way. We believe in delivering on time and under budget. We believe in long-lasting client relationships.

Our office is located in Lake Tahoe and we serve clients all around the lake (including the surrounding areas of Reno, Carson City, Truckee and beyond).

We look forward to working with you.
All the best,
Talie Jane

Owner and Designer, Talie Jane

Lots of people go to school for 10 years…they’re called doctors, or in the case of Talie Jane, interior designers.

After earning a master’s degree in advertising and working in account management at small, medium and internationally renowned advertising agencies in Boston, New York and Chicago, Talie decided the ad world wasn’t for her. Instead, her life-long passion for interior design prevailed.

Four years later, she earned another undergraduate degree, in interior design, and shortly thereafter, opened Talie Jane Interiors in Chicago, her hometown. The resulting combination of management (details) and creativity (design) is unmatched and is thoroughly demonstrated in each of her design projects.

With a successful business, it was difficult for Talie to uproot to Lake Tahoe. But, she “followed a boy,” as she jokes, and made the cross-country move. “It was my husband who introduced me to Lake Tahoe and to whom I can thank for allowing me to wake up in the beauty and tranquility of this amazing place,” she says. Now, Talie gets to follow her passion every day, in one of the most majestic places on earth.

Talie lives in Lake Tahoe with her husband, two sons and her furry, four-legged companion.

ASSISTANT DESIGNER, AKSHAYA SIVASANKAR

Architect turned Interior Designer, Akshaya knew from an early age that she wanted to work in a creative field. She completed her undergraduate work in India, earning a bachelor’s degree in Architecture. It was at that point that she realized she was even more passionate about Interior Design! So, she came to the US to earn a master of Fine Arts in Interior Design from Iowa State University.

Akshaya stayed on after graduate school and was working as an Architectural Assistant when she found Talie Jane Interiors. “My ideal place is one with mountains and water,” she says. “So, when I found Talie Jane Interiors in Lake Tahoe, I was thrilled to make the move; I am so lucky to have a job I’m passionate about and to have a forever home in Tahoe.”

We are very excited to have Akshaya join our team. She is extremely eager to learn and gives every task her all.
