What sets us apart from the normal Interior Design Firm? The founders, Lisa and Richard Strauss have extensive experience as entrepreneurs and have the business savvy in understanding what it takes to succeed. This is not the first venture the Strauss team has tackled. In 1988 they carried out an entrepreneurial vision and formulation of Lisa's Tea Treasures a unique specialty tea retail concept. Taking a one-store operation to multiple franchises across the United States and internationally, in less than four years. As if this was not enough, they also established a wholly owned subsidiary for manufacturing and packaging of full line of tea based products aimed at high end retailers.  In 1995 they were named 35 of the 100 fastest growing privately held companies in Silicon Valley.

Lisa Strauss was the creative partner who had the passion and inspiration behind the Lisa's Tea Treasures tea salon concept. Her sense of imagination and creativity can be seen in every aspect of the business that still carries her name. Ms. Strauss also spent a career in high tech as a Director of procurement which has become a valuable resource in her ability to provide clients with the best possible pricing and the ability to execute on turnkey design project in record time.

Richard Strauss, has always been the technical genius behind every concept as seen in this ability to develop repeatable systems and processes.  This was best  demonstrated in the IT systems he created and detailed manuals which is a necessary requirement to franchise operations.

Understanding the value of marketing, brand image and trademark protection the team learned early on the value of hiring the right marketing professionals to help create the right brand image.  They have a team of graphic artists that help to create the unique identity for every project they take on.
