Meet Trish Bonney and the TAB Team
TAB Interior Designs is a small, all-woman team on East Iliff Avenue in Denver. We design homes for the people who live in them, and then we build them.
We are not a niche studio with a signature look. Every project starts from the people in it, which is why a teal ranch kitchen in Wheat Ridge and a navy bachelor's pad in Lakewood can both be ours.

Twenty Years in the Air Force, Then a New Chapter
Trish Bonney grew up in a small Vermont town near the Canadian border and spent twenty years in the Air Force, followed by a stretch teaching instructional technology. Neither was what she loved.
The turn came when someone asked her a simple question: apart from family, what do you have to look forward to? She admitted she hated her job and loved anything creative. That friend signed her up to talk with a counselor at the Art Institute, and in 2014 she went back to school for interior design.
She interned at design firms, worked as the school's VA representative, and took a full-time job at a commercial architecture and design firm. In 2016 she started TAB on the side. By 2019 it was her full-time work, and she has since added a general contractor's license so the studio can build what it designs.
The military still shows in how the studio runs: clear plans, honest timelines, and someone who answers the phone.
The Designers Beside Trish
Maira Santos
Maira holds a bachelor's degree in interior design from the Art Institute of Colorado and has been with the studio since 2020. Today she keeps projects moving day to day as well as designing them, and she shared the 2026 NKBA Peak Award with Trish.
She leans toward neutral palettes with carefully placed pops of color, which balances Trish's bolder instincts nicely. Her 3D renderings are how most of our clients first see their finished rooms, long before anything is ordered. A love of travel shapes how she thinks about the way people live.
Gabby Hinchey
Gabby joined TAB in December 2024. She is working toward an Associate of Applied Science in Interior Design, has taken classes at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, and completed a residential design internship in Salt Lake City. She works in CAD and 3D rendering.
Her mother is an artist, and Gabby has lived in four states and two countries, including a year studying in Galway, Ireland. In Colorado she spends her time off snowboarding and hunting down new places to eat.
What Clients Say Afterwards
Trish’s design eye is exceptional, and her construction background gives her a technical edge that few designers have.
Max G.Doing any kind of remodel or decorating is so scary. So much money and time. Trish and Maira make all those fears go away. They have worked on 3 of our properties now and I couldn’t recommend them more.
S D.Trish is an AMAZING designer. She is the real deal who can complete a project initial renderings to beautiful final touches. She’ll do both small and large projects.
