Raised in Israel and now based in sunny South Florida, Tatyana Gold, founder of Prisma Interiors, has built a reputation for creating deeply personal, client-centered spaces that blend international inspiration with timeless design. Her work spans from moody, dramatic interiors to bright, playful family homes, always with a focus on wellness, functionality, and beauty.
In this exclusive interview with Cosentino, Tatyana shares her journey, design philosophy, and vision for the future of interior design. Read along and get inspired with us.
Design as a reflection of well-being
For me, design always begins with understanding how my clients live and how they want to feel in their space. I spend a lot of time in those first meetings talking, listening, and getting to know their daily rhythms, whether they have kids, pets, or specific routines. I don’t want to create a home that my clients have to ‘care for’ constantly. Instead, I want the space to support and care for them.
Every project is completely different. Currently, I’m working on two homes that couldn’t be more opposite: one is for a single man who wants a moody, dark, and enveloping space. Even with 27-foot ceilings, his home feels warm and comforting. The other is for a family with four daughters, where everything is light, bright, and feminine. Two extremes, both deeply personal. The common thread is communication and trust. Once clients see how the design takes shape and reflects them, they allow me to take it further than they imagined.
I also love playing with a mix of organic and synthetic materials, layering textures to create spaces that feel timeless and functional. The balance is where the magic happens. With new construction, especially, you have the luxury of creating spaces from scratch, not limited by square footage or walls (yet!), you can change the plans and take it in every direction.
A dream that started in Israel
I grew up in Be’er Sheva, a small desert town in Israel. In the 1990s, design wasn’t part of everyday life here, but even as a little girl, I was drawn to spaces and the emotions they evoked. I even had a binder full of magazine cutouts of my dream room and house. At 13, I was selected by the European Commission to present art in Germany in what became a transformative trip. I wandered into a district filled with furniture showrooms - something we didn’t have in Israel back then - and knew instantly I was in the right place. From that moment, interior design wasn’t just a dream; it was a calling.
At the ripe age of 17, I moved to the United States to pursue a degree in interior design, and two years later, I settled in Miami. It wasn’t an easy path; I worked, went to school, and learned how to be independent all at once, but I loved every moment. Today, Israel is a design leader in the Middle East, and I still draw inspiration from Israeli designers as well as Russian, European, and Middle Eastern influences. That international perspective is woven into my work day in and day out.
A collaborative methodology
I divide my projects into clear phases and involve my clients every step of the way. About a third of the way through, I present concepts and get their reactions, which is when I can read their excitement and see if the design resonates. From there, the process flows easily. By the time we get to major decisions like kitchens and bathrooms, my clients already trust me. They see that I’ve considered everything and that the design often goes beyond their expectations. That trust allows me to flourish creatively and deliver something truly personal.

Why I choose Cosentino
Cosentino materials, like Silestone and Dekton, are the perfect marriage of performance and elegance. Their color palettes are true and authentic, unlike many surfaces on the market that look printed or artificial. I know my clients will never feel like they’ve compromised on aesthetics or quality. What really draws me to Dekton in particular is how it allows me to extend the interior seamlessly into the exterior. In Florida, outdoor living is crucial, but natural stone doesn’t hold up well in this climate. Dekton makes it easy to create that continuity, giving clients beautiful and durable spaces they can enjoy year-round without worry.
And beyond the materials, Cosentino is a community. The events, the people, the connections. It feels like being part of a big family of professionals who are all invested in design. I’m a frequent visitor to the Cosentino City Miami showroom, which has become an interior design hub. It is a one-stop shop where I can bring my clients, take meetings with partners, go over plans, and, of course, view surface materials all in one place.
Designing for South Florida living
South Florida is evolving rapidly, and so are client expectations. Many of my clients have business in other states, so they want multifunctional spaces that allow them to work from home while still feeling like they’re on vacation. Indoor/outdoor living is also a top priority. For people coming from colder states, their yards or balconies were often unusable for a large portion of the year. Here, those spaces can be enjoyed no matter the season. I focus on making them as functional and beautiful as the interiors, with durable surfaces and textiles that don’t require constant care.

Design is a FORCE!
I came across a quote that said ‘Interior Design is a FORCE’ and that sentiment deeply resonated with me. Spaces have the power to evoke emotion and influence how people feel. A room can calm, energize, inspire productivity, encourage togetherness, spark romance, or even create a meditative state of relaxation. Interior design is not simply about selecting beautiful elements; it’s about shaping experiences and meeting clients’ emotional needs through intentional design. That’s what makes this industry so extraordinary: as designers, we create bespoke and aesthetically curated spaces that also promote wellness and connection through thoughtful material choices and purposeful design.

Looking ahead: Wellness, sustainability, and innovation
Sustainability and technology are also reshaping the industry. Clients are asking for eco-friendly, non-toxic materials and smart home features. Homes are being designed to last longer, with flexible spaces that adapt as families grow and change. And of course, AI will have a role to play. I don’t believe it can replace the human connection interior design requires, but as a tool, it can help people with smaller projects or DIY aspirations. At the end of the day, design is about people, emotions, and relationships at its core. That will never change.
What’s next for me
Prisma Interiors is evolving, and I’m excited to grow with it. I find joy in new construction projects, shaping homes from the ground up. I want to collaborate with innovative brands, reconnect with in-person networking, and keep pushing myself personally and professionally.
As a small town girl who carried around a binder of dream homes, I never imagined I’d be here. Now, I just want to see what else I’m capable of and continue creating spaces that make people’s lives better.
