Tehmi’s interest in design began within the fashion industry, where she worked as a fashion buyer and design consultant with a number of major retail brands. Her work focused on developing commercially successful collections by balancing creativity and flair with practical considerations such as production feasibility, budget, and market demand. Collaborating closely with designers, manufacturers and suppliers gave her a strong foundation in how aesthetics, functionality and cost must work together to deliver successful design outcomes.

Over the past two decades, Tehmi has applied this design-led approach to the built environment. She has been involved in the delivery of numerous high-quality residential new builds and renovation projects, many of which have received regional and national industry recognition.

Her work focuses on bringing together architectural thinking, interior design and construction delivery to create cohesive and well-considered spaces. At Dandi Architectural Services, Tehmi works alongside the architectural team to support projects from early concept through to completion, contributing her experience in design development, budgeting, and practical project guidance to help clients realise well-balanced and achievable design solutions.
