THE ROMANCE
OF IDEAS

Tiffany Howell
The mystery and romance of things drive me.
A feeling and a way of being, informs all my projects.
Each one a visual love letter
Award winning interior designer and LA- based creative director, Tiffany Howell is the founder and head creative of design studio Night Palm. Her work has been featured in publications such as Phaidon's recently released Defining Style, Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, T Magazine, The Robb Report, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Living. She is currently recognized as one of Elle Decor's A-List designers.
Tiffany’s work is as diverse and broad as her creative muses and includes residential homes, recording studios, creative offices, high-end retail and restaurant/bars in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Miami. Past and current clients include a mix of entrepreneurs, entertainers, filmmakers and professional athletes all drawn to her body of work, unique artistic background and effortless ability to understand how to create experiences that emotionally resonate.
Tiffany’s approach to design is strongly influenced by her experience as a director, stylist, poet and music video producer. At her core she is a visual storyteller that’s enamored by the process of transformation, inspiration and the poetry of place. This is especially true when bringing to life atmospheric spaces for other creatives and thinkers to be inspired in. She approaches each new project by going beyond the aesthetic, focusing on how a space or concept feels and then crafting visual narratives like the scene of a movie or the embodiment of a favorite song to enable a sensory palette to evoke emotion and bring her ideas to life.
Her designs exhibit a distinct visual language – romantic, moody, cinematic – yet each project is a unique and original work of art driven by a highly collaborative and emotional process Tiffany calls “the romance of ideas”: the mysterious, unpredictable and nonlinear path to inspiration - those seductive moments that lean into flow, ignite an idea and fuel artistic expression.
This Fall Tiffany will be debuting her art installation, The Romance of Ideas, at the The Branch Museum of Design in Richmond Virginia.
