# Tangram Ten // Elizabeth Timmerman
We're thrilled to welcome **Elizabeth Timmerman** to our Newport Beach office as Project Designer. Elizabeth brings fresh perspective from the Midwest along with valuable experience from her previous role as Workplace Application Consultant at Color-Art Integrated Interiors.
When she's not designing innovative workspaces, you'll likely find Elizabeth practicing yoga or spending time with her faithful companion, Bear. We're excited about the energy, humor, and dedication she's bringing to our team—and we're secretly hoping Bear becomes our unofficial office mascot.
## Getting to Know Elizabeth
**What's your hometown?** Breese, Illinois—a true Midwesterner bringing heartland values to the West Coast.
**Tell us about your previous role.** I worked as a Workplace Application Consultant on the Workplace Strategies team at Color-Art Integrated Interiors, where I helped clients optimize their work environments.
**What's a fun fact about yourself?** I have my eyeliner tattooed on. I know, I know—not exactly the coolest confession, but it saves me precious time in the morning!
**If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you want?** My dog Bear (he goes everywhere with me), unlimited ice cream, and definitely sunscreen—this pale skin needs protection!
**What's the most adventurous thing you've eaten?** Turtle, believe it or not. I'm not usually adventurous with food, but it's practically required eating in a Midwest farm town.
## Looking Forward at Tangram
**What excites you most about your new role?** I'm eager to discover West Coast design trends and connect with the architecture and design community here. Plus, getting to know the incredible people at Tangram has been amazing so far.
**Go-to karaoke song?** "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack—it's a timeless classic that never fails to get the crowd singing along.
**If you threw a party, what would it look like?** Definitely a Great Gatsby theme with Leonardo DiCaprio as guest of honor. There's something irresistible about 1920s glamour—pearls, fringe, and feather boas make everything more fun.
## What Elizabeth Brings to Our Team
Elizabeth is already making her mark by bringing:
- **Fresh humor and positive energy** that brightens our daily interactions - **Wellness initiatives** including potential yoga classes and meditation sessions (she's working toward her yoga instructor certification) - **Ambitious goals** to help grow new business and support her fellow designers - **A four-legged team member** who might just convince us to institute "bring your dog to work" days
Elizabeth's blend of Midwest work ethic, West Coast curiosity, and genuine passion for creating better work environments makes her a perfect addition to our Newport Beach team. We're excited to see how her unique perspective will enhance our projects and inspire fresh approaches to commercial design.
Welcome to Tangram, Elizabeth—we're happy to have you (and hopefully Bear) as part of our family!
