Mark LaPalm, IFDA, Principal Interior Designer: Breathe a sigh of relief....he's not your mother's interior designer! Founder of Blue Desert Interiors, Mark LaPalm has been a practicing interior designer for over 22 years. His modern classic livable style is his career trademark. The driving force to cementing Mark’s success in the interior design industry, though, has been his skill of listening to each client’s needs and ideas and bringing them to life in a refreshingly new perspective. He is driven by a guiding philosophy of always improving the quality of people's lives. You will find Mark participating in local charity events, like IFDA's "Tableau" that benefits Ryan House. You may also find him at the Desert Z Association events for Nissan Z owners. (You can take the man out of the Motor City, but you can't take the Motor City out of the man!) With his many years of experience as an interior decorator, some of his special talents that he has refined are inspired color palette creation, innovative light fixtures, audio/video technology & integration and custom window treatments.
