Tim Mohnkern has been surrounded by good taste with a strong emphasis on quality for as long as he can remember. As a young man, he would relish helping his mom rearrange their furniture every few months to create a different look with everything they already owned, keeping the appearance of their home fresh, stylish, and varied.

Tim also had a passion for fashion and, growing up, used the same lessons of using his quality clothing pieces in his limited wardrobe in new and different ways to up the style factor and look dapper. These lessons of starting with quality and making the best use of those pieces have followed him into adulthood and helped inform his aesthetic.

Tim's path to interior design was not a direct one. When entering college, a degree in interior design was not a consideration, and he pursued a more "traditional" world of business. But the world of interior design was always a lure to Tim, who followed and watched trending designers, the burgeoning world of HGTV, and absorbed everything there was to learn. It wasn't long before opportunity came knocking at his door.

Baker Furniture was a fruitful training ground for Tim, and his fourteen years there taught him a further appreciation and knowledge of high-end furniture, fabrics, wall coverings scale, space management, and, yes, client budgets. Tim had the great fortune of working closely with many excellent interior designers, and his talents grew from their wisdom and mentorship.

Tim brings over twenty years of experience and learning to his design firm, TDM. From helping friends and neighbors with their homes to growing his loyal band of clients to having his own home featured in MSP Home & Design, Tim feels the time is right to put purpose to passion and launch his design firm. Tim's joy in design is apparent in his creativity, client interactions, and finished project. His lifelong love of design and the fruition of TDM Design proves there is always time to follow your dreams, and Tim's dreams are just beginning.
