Taylor Apolonio, founder of Habitat Interiors Co, grew up in the Salt Lake area, where a love for the outdoors not only became a personal passion but also a rich source of inspiration for interior design. Taylor’s earliest memory of being drawn to design dates back to third grade when their curiosity was sparked by the attic access in their bedroom. With a blank sheet of printer paper and a pencil, Taylor sketched "blueprints" for a staircase leading to a loft, reimagining how the space could be transformed to its fullest potential. That childhood creativity blossomed into a lifelong love of rethinking spaces and finding unique ways to make them functional and inviting.
​
Before founding Habitat Interiors Co, Taylor earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Interior Design, honed their skills at a custom furniture company, and was a custom cabinetry designer. Designing alongside talented designers, builders, contractors, and homeowners helped shape their approach to design. Earlier in their career, Taylor worked in hospitality management, where they led teams and oversaw multimillion-dollar businesses. This experience developed their ability to manage large projects and coordinate cross-functional teams—skills that have been invaluable in creating successful collaborations and delivering exceptional results in the design world.
​
Since the inception of Habitat Interiors Co in 2020, Taylor has further expanded their expertise by earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in industrial-organizational psychology. This advanced knowledge allows Taylor to apply psychological principles to design, ensuring spaces are not only visually striking but also promote well-being, productivity, and functionality tailored to the unique needs of those inhabiting the space.
