My name is Triesta Zuber (Tree-sta)  and I have been an interior designer, contractor and business owner for many years.  I started out just taking rooms and redoing them for friends and eventually I was doing faux painting techniques, color consultation, interior design, murals for kids rooms and metallic paint finishes just to name a few things.  

I have sold and or installed almost everything that comes to interior design and construction.  I grew up with artists like Shel Silverstein as inspiration and I have been drawing characters, making art and writing poems inspired by the kids that I teach.  

My construction and design business eventually led me to get my contractors license and oversee major construction projects. When the economy downturned, I took a job as an account representative with a territory all over Oregon and Washington for a forest products company selling and designing custom cabinetry for residential and commercial applications.  

I currently do the marketing and sales for Heartshot Photography while apprenticing at Marvelous Mosaics, Kory Dollar’s design studio. 

Ideally we would be doing various mediums of art as a full time career and traveling the world.
