| Terrance Mason is a degreed Portland-based interior designer serving residential and commercial clients in the Pacific Northwest area. His design passion centers around creating comfortable, awe-enriching interiors that are balanced with - what he calls - ‘a little bit of whimsy.’
Terrance Mason has over fifteen years experience as an interior designer. Prior to receiving his degree of Applied Sciences in Interior Design, Terrance accumulated a robust fifteen years of professional experience as an award-winning pastry chef and as a distinguished floral designer. These two prior incarnations, as he likes to call them, grounded Terrance in the fundamentals of design, application, and execution. On multiple occasions, Terrance received public praise and honors for his avant-garde contributions to these professions. In addition, Terrance is an Associate Member of the Northwest Society of Interior Designers (NWSID) and regularly donates his time to local charities.
Terrance focuses his professional energy on helping clients articulate their own personal narratives, tastes and subtle nuances. He takes great pleasure in uncovering a client’s likes and dislikes, their idiosyncrasies, their collections, and their unique color palette. As he likes to put it, “I am here to help my clients design interiors that tell their story.” In the end, it’s all about two important considerations: the Client and How They Inhabit the Space. The rest is up to the Designer.
Terrance draws inspiration from traveling around the world, studying furniture design and its evolution, and taking in as much of the world’s architecture as possible. In his world travels, Terrance always makes a point of visiting a city’s art and design collections and/or its botanical gardens. He has traveled extensively through the United States, Europe, and Central America, and has ambitions of traveling to Asia in the near future. Consequently, Terrance has greatly expanded his first-hand knowledge of design around the world, where it has come from, and where it is going. In his words, “When I am traveling in a foreign country, and I see something new and exciting, I know it will have repercussions in the world of design. All design is interlinked. What is happening in China today could be happening in my client’s living room tomorrow.”
Terrance is available to consult with clients on residential and small commercial interior design projects.
