I have known Tor and worked with her professionally for more than ten years. Not only is she a creative talent, but she is - perhaps more importantly - hardworking, thoughtful, humble, fair, and generous with her time and attention. She has an incredible eye for detail, and a soothing disposition. I have enjoyed every project that I have worked on with Tor, and would highly recommend her studio.

We’ve worked with Tor on our two homes and though we don’t want to move because they are both perfect for us because of Tor, we would cherish any opportunity to work with her again. She is an amazing listener - hears what you like, what you don’t like, what you want to change, and incorporates that into everything she presents and executes. She’s organized and efficient - emails always answered, follows up with vendors without being asked, never forgets anything. She’s endlessly patient, respectful and incredibly kind, and every interaction she has is rooted in those qualities. And her taste and ability to execute and to bring your vision to life is beyond amazing. We wanted our homes to feel cozy, warm and serene and they definitely do because of her. Tor is the absolute best.

Tor created the ultimate cozy Brooklyn abode for us, a true sanctuary that was a peaceful respite from the chaos of the city. She managed our project, a small renovation of a brownstone apartment, with ease and expediency, shielding us from the mundane logistics of a project like this and bringing us in for the exciting and important parts. Working with her was an absolute delight - receiving her presentations in our inboxes was the highlight of our day every time. Her vision and attention to detail are exquisite. Our two main goals were to prioritize small local makers and to have the coziest possible lighting, and she delivered on both accounts, wildly exceeding our expectations. We even created a much beloved family holiday celebrating the day all of the lights were installed. Though we've since moved, we talk about Tor's details often, inspiring us to bring beauty into our new home.
