Tresna Lim Taylor, AIA, CPHC

Principal

Tresna is a Registered Architect and Certified Passive House Consultant.


Tresna first started working at DFDG fresh out of graduate school. She has always been interested in how things are put together, and how to convey graphic information as clearly as possible. Architecture was an obvious career choice, but she thinks she might have been equally happy as a graphic designer or book designer, had those career options presented themselves earlier in life.


Having done a stint in the corporate world, Tresna prefers working in a small-firm environment where one has the opportunity to wear many hats. In addition to working on a wide range of projects, her proclivity for graphic design dovetails neatly with the firm's branding and marketing efforts.


Tresna became a Certified Passive House Consultant in 2023 with the goal of designing more sustainably for all DFDG clients, regardless of whether there is interest in formal certification.


Tresna became Principal and owner of DFDG in 2023, after the passing of founder Damian Farrell. She is proud to carry on his legacy of great design and great client service.
