About us

DESIGN THAT DELIVERS.

At American Design International, we believe great design doesn’t just look good—it makes life better. It supports how you live, work, and feel in your space every single day.

With over 35 years of experience, we’ve had the pleasure of working with homeowners, developers, and real estate investors across Tacoma, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond—designing everything from custom residential homes to multifamily and commercial interiors.

Our work is rooted in timeless aesthetics, but always tailored to your specific goals, lifestyle, and investment. Whether you're tackling a full renovation, updating a vacation rental, or exploring e-design services from afar, we bring a thoughtful, strategic, and collaborative approach to every space.

We’re proud to be known as a trusted interior design studio in Tacoma, and we love helping our clients reimagine what’s possible—right down to the last detail.

Let’s bring your space to life—beautifully, purposefully, and with heart.
