## Meet Monica Serowski: Designer Bringing Architectural Expertise to Dallas
We're thrilled to welcome Monica Serowski to Tangram's Dallas team as our newest Designer. With her background in interior design at Page, an architectural firm, Monica brings a unique perspective that bridges architecture and commercial interior design—a combination that promises fresh insights for our client projects.
### From Architecture to Interior Design
Monica's transition from architectural design to focusing on commercial interiors reflects a growing trend in the industry. Her experience working within an architectural framework gives her a deep understanding of how interior spaces function within the broader built environment—knowledge that's invaluable when creating cohesive commercial spaces.
"I am so excited to focus on the furniture side of design," Monica shares. This shift allows her to dive deeper into the detailed elements that make commercial spaces both functional and inspiring for the people who use them daily.
### Building Connections Through Design
What sets Monica apart is her enthusiasm for relationship building. She's looking forward to developing connections with both team members and clients—a mindset that aligns perfectly with successful commercial design projects, where collaboration and clear communication are essential.
Her colleagues describe her as fun, creative, and honest—qualities that translate into authentic client relationships and innovative design solutions.
### Dallas Through a Designer's Eyes
As someone who's called Dallas home for 12 years, Monica has developed an appreciation for the city's diverse neighborhoods and their distinct characters. She particularly loves exploring Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts District, areas known for their creative energy and evolving urban landscapes.
This local knowledge serves commercial designers well, as understanding a city's cultural fabric helps create spaces that resonate with their communities and users.
### The Foodie Advantage in Commercial Design
Monica's passion for culinary experiences isn't just a personal interest—it's an asset in commercial design. Her recent memorable meal in Miami, featuring dragonfruit ceviche served in the fruit's own shell, highlights her appreciation for thoughtful presentation and unique experiences.
This perspective is particularly valuable when designing hospitality spaces, corporate dining areas, or any commercial environment where the user experience extends beyond pure function to create memorable moments.
### Looking Ahead
Monica's arrival represents the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that's shaping modern commercial interior design. Her architectural background, combined with her focus on furniture and space planning, positions her to tackle the complex challenges that today's commercial projects demand.
We're excited to see how Monica's architectural expertise and positive energy will contribute to Tangram's continued growth in the Dallas market. Welcome to the team, Monica!
