stacey bender | principal owner | interior designer
I am a creative spirit who happens to practice interior design. I believe, first and foremost, that the impact of the entire spatial experience should be considered at the start and throughout every architecture or interior design project. I believe that form and function can and MUST work together; light, form and materials can be manipulated to create wonderful spaces and I am always looking for how best to elevate the emotional connection between the space and its inhabitants. Simply put, architecture has a profound impact on our happiness and emotion. At tbd Creative, my leadership in interior design shapes spaces that create environments which evoke feelings and memories.
I had a long career working in large global design firms before opening tbd creative, too. My diverse portfolio spans workplace, healthcare, and hospitality sectors, among others. Notable achievements include leading the interior architecture for the University of Washington’s West Campus Expansion and several ground-up hospital towers as well as designing over 500,000 square feet of corporate office space.
I've successfully delivered projects that have been recognized both nationally and locally, have received multiple awards and been in publications such as Architectural Record and Interior Design magazine. The latest award was for Alexan Access, winner of best suburban development over 100 at NAIOP 2023. I hold a Bachelors of Fine Art in Interior Design from Cornish College for the Arts.
