Tatiana Soldatova is an interior design, professor, entrepreneur and Partner at Syllable, a Toronto architecture and interior design firm producing workplace, retail and residential designs. What makes Tatiana different from your typical designer is that she has a long, illustrious and varied resume that belies her highly strategic approach to solving any and all problems.
I wanted to interview Tatiana to discuss her take on the place of women within the profession and what she has done to carve a spot for herself in this industry, while overcoming the challenges that being a very young, dare I say precocious, designer brings in a field where careers are rarely taking off before the age of 40.
