The Partner Keeping the Build Beautiful — and Moving
Haley Design Co. acts as the essential link between homeowners and builders, taking ownership of the details that can easily fall through the cracks. From finish selections and specifications to communication, coordination, and all the little decisions in between, we keep the project organized and moving forward — with a designer’s eye on every detail, including the job site.
Tara Coniglio
Founder & Principal
With more than 20 years of experience in residential construction, renovation, design, and project management, I bring a uniquely well-rounded perspective to every project.
My passion for construction and design started early. As a child, I often accompanied my father to job-sites, where I grew up surrounded by plans, tools, and the process of bringing a project to life — with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, collaboration, and thoughtful details.
I combine my deep construction expertise with formal training in interior design to create warm, inviting, and livable homes. My understanding of the building process allows me to collaborate seamlessly with builders, contractors, and homeowners — bringing thoughtful design, attention to detail, and a streamlined approach to every project.
I’m passionate about creating homes that are as beautiful as they are functional, with spaces that feel personal, comfortable, and truly lived in. Based in New Canaan, Connecticut, I’m lucky to share life with my husband, three daughters, and two beloved dogs.
