Rocio O'Cone and Gillian Blair are the creative minds behind Tête-à-tête, a full-service interior design studio specializing in custom residential design. Founded on the belief that inspiration is everywhere, Tête-à-tête takes on a wide array of projects, ensuring that no style is off-limits. Rocio's background in architecture and interior design began at a young age, inspired by her architect father. She gained diverse experience in event production, residential design, and custom furnishings. Gillian's journey started with an architectural approach to interiors, leading to roles in residential architecture and a focus on materiality and layering in design. Tête-à-tête believes the best projects are driven by a carefully crafted concept created between designer and client. They take the time to get to know each client stylistically and functionally, operating at a medium pace in a fast-paced world. With their versatile backgrounds, they offer services from full-scale remodels to accessories, ensuring each project is unique and tailored to the client's needs.

How can I prep for my consultation call?
Gather anything that helps communicate your goals — floor plans, sketches, photos, inspiration images, or materials. Whether the conversation centers on architecture, interior design, construction, or landscaping, the more prepared you are, the more productive your consultation will be. Family members, architects, and contractors are welcome to join the call to maximize your time.
How long are the consultation calls?
You can book a 30-minute or 60-minute consultation. A 30-minute session is ideal for focused questions — like finalizing a kitchen layout, reviewing material options, or refining a landscape concept. A 60-minute session allows for deeper collaboration, especially helpful for larger home projects or boutique commercial spaces.
