Tiffany Meek is an emerging designer graduating from Utah State University with a Bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture and Design, complemented by minors in Art and Entrepreneurship. Tiffany's journey with design has been one of discovery. As the daughter of a composer, she always believed she would pursue a career in the world of music. However, after her first interior design class, she realized that the built environment had always been a quiet, underlying passion. Through her academic work and professional experience, including a summer internship at Johnson Architecture in Knoxville, TN, Tiffany has developed a love for the design process, where conceptual ideas are shaped into spaces that not only serve a purpose, but also foster connection. Her work is driven by a commitment to thoughtful, experience-driven design. As she begins her career, she aims to become a licensed interior designer through NCIDQ certification and, over time, expand her path into architecture and continuing to create spaces that are both meaningful and impactful.

Student Projects
Willowind
Willowind Manor is a contemporary interpretation of storybook architecture inspired by Tudor Revival, Cottage Orné, and rustic architecture traditions, set within the rolling hills of East Tennessee. The design explores how historic architectural language can be adapted to a modern residential context while responding to regional climate and construction practices. Steeply pitched roofs, deep overhangs, and durable materials such as stone, plaster, and timber work together to manage rainfall, provide shade, and support natural ventilation. Through layered roof forms, asymmetrical massing, and expressive detailing, the project balances the charm of a fairytale cottage with the functionality of a livable home, creating a design that feels both timeless and grounded in its Appalachian setting.
Aureate Coast Collection
The Aureate Coast Collection is a cohesive furniture series inspired by coastal light, palm forms, and rhythmic shoreline patterns. Crafted from American walnut with aged brass accents, the collection balances expressive form with intentional functionality, bringing warmth, refinement, and quiet luxury to interior environments.
Designed as a complete furnishing system, each piece shares a unified architectural language defined by repetition, proportion, and arched motifs drawn from natural coastal elements. While suited for high-end residential interiors, the collection also adapts seamlessly to boutique hospitality settings. Aureate Coast explores how sculptural form and materiality can create a sense of continuity, where each piece contributes to a larger, cohesive whole.
Naturally You Salon
Naturally You Salon, located in Plain City, Utah, is a ground-up commercial project rooted in restoration, warmth, and intentional design. Blending the romantic character of Mediterranean influence with the grounded sensibility of the American Mountain West, the salon creates a serene, wellness-centered environment that supports comfort, confidence, and renewal.
The design addresses the challenge of creating a calming experience within a high-sensory salon setting. Through low-chroma color palettes, layered lighting, and carefully curated materials—including microcement, quartz, tile, and warm wood tones—the space reduces overstimulation while maintaining visual richness. Architectural forms, custom millwork, and material transitions guide circulation and establish a cohesive identity, resulting in an environment that elevates the everyday ritual of self-care.
Ascot Garden: Floral Atelier & Conservatory
Located within the historic Chanin Building in Midtown Manhattan, Ascot Garden is a boutique floral atelier and conservatory inspired by the elegance and transformation narrative of My Fair Lady. As an adaptive reuse project, a former office suite is reimagined into an immersive retail environment centered on refinement, craftsmanship, and experience.
The design translates the film’s progression from modest beginnings to polished sophistication through spatial organization and material expression. Soft blush tones, layered florals, and delicate detailing are balanced with structured architectural elements, creating a dialogue between romance and order. A refined palette of painted millwork, marble, brass, and mirrored surfaces reinforces this contrast while evoking both garden lightness and interior formality.
Anchored by a custom floral cart, the central showroom encourages interaction and personalized bouquet creation, while adjacent areas support consultation, display, and back-of-house operations. The result is a cohesive environment where floral design becomes both product and performance.
