Design Philosophy
Tawni ran her own design/build firm for several years before joining Neil Kelly, and her entrepreneurial mindset and experience are highly valued by her team and clients. She describes her professional philosophy as “Whole-person oriented design;” creating home environments that enhance how people live their lives and relate their homes in mind, body, and spirit. Her goal is to help her clients create a space that makes their lives easier and serves as a reflection of their favorite parts of themselves.
When she’s not designing amazing spaces, you’ll find Tawni creating amazing characters as an actor/singer/dancer in live theatre performances around the Portland area.

Modern Portland Condo Kitchen Remodel
Kitchen Remodeling • Replace Pearl District, Portland, ORA sixth-floor Portland condo kitchen gets a complete refresh — rift white oak cabinetry, Dekton surfaces, and a Japanese-Scandinavian aesthetic — without moving a single plumbing or electrical line. Designer Tawni Peterson worked within a fixed footprint to deliver hidden storage, a dedicated coffee bar, and a near floor-to-ceiling grain match that reads as custom from every angle.
