JM Kitchen & Bath Design Taylor employee

Taylor Tim grew up in Ames, Iowa as the daughter of an architect, who passed down his design and architecture skills, ultimately sparking her interest to study interior design in college. Taylor earned an interior design degree in a Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA)-accredited program at the University of Northern Iowa in the early 2010s. Following graduation, she immediately went to work for a family-owned interior design business selling cabinets, plumbing, and lighting, as well as designing.

By fate, in 2016, Taylor attended the annual Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas and was returning to Iowa, with a layover in Denver, and happened to sit next to the owner of JM Kitchen and Bath Design. The two struck up a conversation during the flight, discussing their love for interior design. She received his business card and ultimately a job. Taylor and her husband Sam moved to Denver and she has designed at JM Kitchen and Bath Design since 2017.

Taylor says what makes her good at her job is always maintaining a sense of calmness. In major home renovation projects, it’s easy for clients to become stressed as issues arise, and Taylor preserves a steady balance to put her clients at ease and keep the project on course. She also strives to forge personal relationships with her clients, enabling them to become comfortable and trusting in her. Taylor’s goal at the end of every project is to perform her job so well that her clients reward her with a hug. “With many of these projects, it’s a huge investment – something my clients have saved for a long time – so I want them to be as comfortable as possible with me and enjoy the process.”

Taylor attributes her skills as being inherited from her father, as she notes that interior design is “a lot closer to architecture than it is to decorating”. She particularly enjoys the technical aspects of each and every job – and relishes creating detailed 3D design renderings so her clients can visualize exactly what they’re getting and to see themselves in the new space.
Taylor appreciates being a part of the JM Kitchen and Bath Design team because it’s a group of very talented, experienced designers who have successfully completed thousands of projects. And, JM’s access to superior products enables her and her fellow designers to provide better solutions for their clients. “From the designers to the installers, the contractors, and the products we put in, we can’t be beat,” she says.

Outside of work Taylor is fond of taking advantage of Colorado’s temperate climate, which she says is night-and-day better than the freezing-cold winters and steamy summers she grew up with in Iowa. It allows her to enjoy outdoor activities all year round, as she loves hiking and exploring nature. She also satisfies her creative side by spending free time painting. Taylor and her husband Sam have been married six years and are expecting their first baby.

Testimonials

I loved working with Taylor!! My full kitchen remodel turned out better than I could have imagined. Taylor was wonderful to work with— the design/layout she came up with turned out amazing and I could have never done this without her. Taylor was able to recommend a contractor who she trusts and who has helped her with a lot of her projects— someone who I highly recommend as well, and all costs came in right on budget/what was quoted to me by both Taylor and the contractor (very fair pricing— better than everyone else I received quotes from). Being able to work with Taylor and her recommended contractor made the project flow seamlessly and we never ran into any hiccups— which I never knew could actually be possible when going through a renovation. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else!

Taylor did a great job designing our kitchen remodel. She listened to what we were looking for and without judgment, pointed us in the right direction. Most importantly, when a couple things went sideways during the install, she stayed with us and made everything “right”. If we were to do it again, we would definitely hire her again. We feel It’s critically important to know you have someone that will stay with you to the end and make sure things are done correctly. Luckily we found that person in Taylor. Thank you JM and thank you Taylor. Our kitchen looks and works great.

It was a joy working with Taylor to design our kitchen and baths. She guided the decision process so we would come up with a result that met our personal style. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Taylor. We’ll work with her the next time we remodel.

I had a terrific experience working with Taylor Tim at JM Kitchens in Denver. She has a great eye for kitchen design. From the design process to the selection of materials, I couldn’t be happier with the end result of our kitchen. It looks stunning and I contribute that to all the details and selections that were made. I would also like to point out that Taylor was always super great at problem solving and making sure everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend Taylor Tim and her associate Mike who was terrific. Great experience, great people to work with and a fabulous kitchen that I get to cook in for years to come.
