Meet Our Staff

Terry Trauner As owner of Trauner Designs, and co-founder of its predecessor, Trauner Designs, I am excited to combine my passion for design with my business, financial and organizational expertise for one overriding purpose - to ensure that our clients receive the superior service, care and attention they deserve. While I enjoy working on design matters, much of my work goes on behind the scenes - working with staff, vendors, suppliers, freight companies, bankers and others to make sure that our talented team has everything we need to turn vision into reality. We here at Trauner Designs recognize that lasting success in our field comes down to providing great vision and impeccable service, every time, without exception. Prior to co-founding an interior design business over 13 years ago, I gained valuable experience helping to run organizations as diverse as the Grand Teton Music Festival, a California-based real estate development firm and my own Custom Sewing business. I pursued my higher education at UCLA. When I am not working on behalf of our clients, I am climbing a mountain with my husband, Gary and our two boys Benjamin and Aaron. .

Adrienne Lane, Allied ASID, LEED AP Bachelor of Fine Arts, Interior Design, Iowa State University 2005 I have enjoyed being a designer at GTD since August 2005, my first job since graduating from Iowa State with a BFA in Interior Design. I take pride in working as an interior designer, something I've wanted to do since the 6th grade. I feel as though I am able to live out my passion each and every day while being challenged with every project, even ordinary office activities. Work always seems to be eventful, giving me the opportunities to share funny stories with my family and friends who live all over the country. I am working toward becoming LEED AP; I am very interested in anything that involves green design. When not designing, which I do even in my sleep, I am reading, doing something creative like sewing or traveling; I have lived abroad in Rome as well as many states across the U.S. as a military brat. But after all the places I've lived, my animals, Mitch and Grady, and I love the Jackson and Victor area the most!

KRISTIN FRAPPART, Allied ASID I have had the wonderful opportunity of being born and raised in Jackson Hole, spending most of my earlier years on the ski slopes or on the waters of Jackson Lake. My interest in design both Interior and Fashion design started during my years in High School, and helped me to choose my path of higher education. After graduating from college, I gained some very valuable experience and knowledge working for a firm in Scottsdale Arizona. After three years of city life, I decided it was time to come back home to my family and the surroundings I love so much. Interior Design is truly my ambition and passion. I especially enjoy working and building a relationship with my clients. To take their ideas, and create a unique living or working environment tailored to their needs and wants, see their projects from the very beginning to the last touch put in its place is a great experience. When I am not at work I am usually skiing, water skiing, camping, riding my beach cruiser and just enjoying our great outdoors.

Jennifer Taft I moved from Atlanta, GA, to Jackson Hole in October of 2003. I enjoy being outside, playing tennis and spending time with my husband, Woody, our dog, family and friends - oh and decorating my home! I am excited to work in the interior design environment and enjoy the small-office, team atmosphere of Trauner Designs. I am repeatedly impressed by and proud to be a part of the precise, personal professionalism that GTD offers in order to reach each and every one of their clients' needs.
