## Meet Esther Cho: Bringing Fresh Perspective to Our California Design Team
We're excited to introduce the newest member of our California design team: **Esther Cho**. As a Designer joining Tangram Interiors, Esther brings valuable experience from her previous role as a Furniture Dealer Designer, along with a fresh perspective that strengthens our collaborative approach to commercial interior design.
### Getting to Know Esther
A Los Angeles native now living in Buena Park, Esther understands the diverse design landscape of Southern California. Her transition from furniture dealing to our comprehensive design practice reflects the multifaceted nature of today's commercial design industry, where cross-disciplinary experience creates stronger project outcomes.
When she's not creating inspiring workspaces, Esther maintains a healthy work-life balance through yoga, catching up on Netflix series, and spending quality time with her dog and friends. This past year has been particularly meaningful for her as she's prioritized family time—a reminder that great design often stems from understanding what truly matters in people's daily lives.
### Professional Insights and Aspirations
Esther's background in furniture design brings a unique product-focused lens to our team's approach. In commercial design, understanding how individual pieces contribute to the overall environment is crucial for creating cohesive, functional spaces that serve diverse user needs.
**What excites Esther most about joining Tangram?** The opportunity to expand her skill set while contributing her specialized knowledge to our collaborative design process. Her goal is to become a valuable team asset by combining her existing expertise with new techniques and approaches.
### A Designer's Essentials
Like many design professionals, Esther's daily essentials reflect the mobile, connected nature of our industry:
- **Navigation apps** for site visits and client meetings - **Banking apps** for project management and client coordination - **Social platforms** for inspiration and industry connections
Her phone remains her most crucial tool—unsurprising for professionals who need constant access to project communications, reference materials, and inspiration.
### Looking Ahead
Esther's curiosity extends beyond design into areas like politics, demonstrating the broad thinking that often characterizes successful commercial designers. Understanding social and economic factors helps create spaces that truly serve communities and businesses.
Interestingly, when asked who she'd trade places with for a day, Esther chose her dog—perhaps the ultimate testament to appreciating life's simple pleasures and the importance of rest in a demanding creative field.
### Welcome to the Team
Esther's combination of technical furniture knowledge, California market understanding, and commitment to continuous learning makes her an excellent addition to our design team. Her experience bridges product expertise with spatial design thinking—exactly the kind of comprehensive approach that creates exceptional commercial environments.
We're thrilled to have Esther join our mission of creating thoughtful, functional commercial spaces that enhance how people work and interact. Welcome to Tangram, Esther!
