Tinsley Hutson-Wiley is a San Francisco-based interior designer 

who credits her Southern background and a plethora of artists 

in her family as a major influence on her design style and 

appreciation for art. She believes the sentimental and the 

serendipitous belong side-by-side in a home. Tinsley has lived and 

worked in the District of Columbia, New York, London, and 

Johannesburg. Her passions for travel, art, and architecture have 

contributed to her unique style that respects tradition and 

embraces the new. She incorporates sustainable materials into 

each of her design projects and is recognized as a certified green 

building and ASID professional. 

Tinsley has an undergraduate degree in systems engineering and 

environmental science from the University of Virginia and 

continued her education in interior design and architecture at 

the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Her strong 

knowledge of CAD and illustration software is balanced with 

her love of painting and sketching, which she uses to help clients 

visualize design concepts. Tinsley also worked for notable firm, 

Kendall Wilkinson Design, before founding her own interior 

design firm in 2007.
