Tompkins’s appreciation of the romance and responsibilities of home has deep roots. She is fascinated by the architectural intimacy and humanity of houses. A curious mind and open-hearted listener, she relishes customization and is attuned to each client’s tastes and personalities. Tompkins is a scholar of art history and a design connoisseur, having studied thousands of artists, movements, and masterworks. Her cognitive strengths—an exceptional visual memory, a sensitive eye for color (including the nuances of neutrals), and an aptitude for crafting serene complexity out of chaos—are assurance of clients’ profound and engaging experience with Chroma.
