Billy Tompkins  Principal Design Consultant

After 25 years in customer service, (holding mostly supervisor and management roles), I decided it was time for a change. I had worked for a major airline for 9 years and saw an ad for The Art Institute. I called, went to an open house 2 days later, and that Monday I was sitting in my first class, Textiles. The minute I walked onto that campus, I knew my creative juices would start flowing and my passion would challenge me to push myself more and more! I graduated top of my class, Deans list every quarter, and student body representative.


I love design because I get to create spaces for my clients that are very personal. I take the time to listen to what my clients want and need, and strive to exceed their expectations by taking their space to the next level. I don't rush my designs, and I tend to get over excited when I find the perfect piece that will fit into my design beautifully!
