Space Advocate Studio is expanding into a new physical location — home to our design studio and the public launch of The Interiors Dept.™, a free-access commercial-only tenant improvement resource hub for designers, builders, and business owners.
Space Advocate Studio is a women-owned commercial interior design and planning practice based in Whatcom County. We specialize in thoughtful, code-aware solutions for small businesses, nonprofits, and public-sector clients — creating spaces that reflect mission, support people, and function beautifully.
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, we combine design and strategy to deliver clear, purposeful results — from early planning studies to fully coordinated tenant improvements.

Under 4,000 SF — small to mid-sized commercial interiors requiring design, documentation, and permitting.

Non-construction updates that transform how your business looks and feels.

Pre-design assessments that help organizations understand how much space they really need before design begins.

“Tristen is an honorable and trustworthy person who can tackle any furniture or interior design challenges with ease. As a women-owned furniture manufacturer, we worked together on several projects and found her to be a true expert dedicated to finding the right solution for her clients. Her experience in the field is well respected and she is admired by her peers. I highly recommend Tristen to any institution looking for the best advocate for their project.”
"Without hesitation, I'm thrilled to recommend Space Advocate as an exceptional commercial space planning agency, that skillfully and beautifully streamlined my business's tenant improvements, while showcasing their expertise in sustainability and energy efficiency with our collaboration on a subsequent commercial development project.

"We had Tristen come through and do a full analysis of our upstairs offices. Her presentation was very thorough, and she got us fully lined up with what we needed to do to make our space look and feel like a world class office. Thanks so Much to you and your team, we are over the moon! "
