32 Q&A with Heather Carlson IIDA, Director of Interior Design TMPartners What have been your major accomplishments since joining the company? As the founder of the interior design practice at TMPartners more than 19 years ago, the accomplishment I am most proud of is my relentless push for holistic design, where interior designers work side by side with architects and engineers from inception to completion of every project, championing creative design from all aspects. Work-life balance. Any piece of advice for achieving this? Time-management skills are critical to a successful work-life balance. Being a student athlete in college helped develop my time-management skills and transferred to my professional life. The discipline it takes to balance home and career translates into making sound decisions for clients. tmpartners.com Women in Design: we honor and thank you.
