Philosophy

Turning residences into dream havens and beautiful, personalized environments with an emphasis on the finest quality and service is our priority at Tucker & Marks.

We specialize in high-end residential interiors which are custom designed to meet our client's needs. Projects can involve architecture and construction, custom designed upholstery and furniture as well as antiques and art from around the world.

The Tucker & Marks philosophy is to combine style, comfort and appropriateness to create timeless spaces which are elegant and inviting, comfortable and livable, as well as sophisticated and intimate.

Impeccable taste and attention to detail have made Suzanne Tucker one of California's most sought-after and respected interior designers. As Principal Designer, Suzanne brings a sophisticated sense of style to all of her projects and has been called upon to design residences throughout the country as well as private offices, clubs and boutique hotels. Suzanne has been featured in numerous magazines, books and publications and has been a keynote speaker at museums, colleges, and design seminars.

Team Approach

Suzanne and managing partner Timothy Marks founded Tucker & Marks in 1986 and have over forty years combined experience creating custom designed interiors. While Suzanne heads the Design Studio and personally directs all projects, Tim oversees production, operations and management of the firm. They have assembled a Design Studio composed of three teams, each headed by a talented senior designer, along with a project management staff to support each project. The design staff hails from such prestigious firms as Mark Hampton Inc. and David Easton and Associates in New York. We have extensive experience working with architects and builders on construction and remodeling and welcome a team approach. Professionalism and service are of the highest importance.

Background

Suzanne has been decorating homes for more than 20 years. She and Tim both worked closely with the legendary California decorator Michael Taylor and were involved in projects from California to New York and internationally from France to Saudi Arabia and Japan.

Suzanne studied interior architecture and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design from UCLA. While living in London and working for a small interior decorating firm, Suzanne pursued her continuing education and passion for studying antiques, architecture and the decorative arts. Upon returning to San Francisco, she began her association with the legendary interior designer, Michael Taylor. Becoming his protégé, she continues to work on several of his past projects and design for former clients.

Tim is a graduate of the University of Colorado and has been involved in Design Production and Project Management for almost 25 years. With Michael Taylor he supervised all manufacturing, custom designs, and installations as well as managing operations. Upon Michael Taylor's death in 1986, Suzanne and Tim purchased his interior design firm and formed Tucker & Marks, Inc.

We welcome clients who are beginning their first home or creating secondary residences. Projects of all sizes are considered, whether it is a living room to be decorated or an entire house designed from the ground up.
