Meet Our Staff

Terry Trauner As owner of Trauner Designs, and co-founder of its predecessor, Gallinger Trauner Designs, I am excited to combine my passion for design with my business, financial and organizational expertise for one overriding purpose - to ensure that our clients receive the superior service, care and attention they deserve. While I enjoy working on design matters, much of my work goes on behind the scenes - working with staff, vendors, suppliers, freight companies, bankers and others to make sure that our talented team has everything we need to turn vision into reality. We here at Trauner Designs recognize that lasting success in our field comes down to providing great vision and impeccable service, every time, without exception. Prior to co-founding an interior design business over 13 years ago, I gained valuable experience helping to run organizations as diverse as the Grand Teton Music Festival, a California-based real estate development firm and my own Custom Sewing business. I pursued my higher education at UCLA. When I am not working on behalf of our clients, I am climbing a mountain with my husband, Gary and our two boys Benjamin and Aaron. .

KRISTIN FRAPPART, Interior Designer I have had the wonderful opportunity of being born and raised in Jackson Hole, spending most of my earlier years on the ski slopes or on the waters of Jackson Lake. My interest in design both Interior and Fashion design started during my years in High School, and helped me to choose my path of higher education. After graduating from college, I gained some very valuable experience and knowledge working for a firm in Scottsdale Arizona. After three years of city life, I decided it was time to come back home to my family and the surroundings I love so much. Interior Design is truly my ambition and passion. I especially enjoy working and building a relationship with my clients. To take their ideas, and create a unique living or working environment tailored to their needs and wants, see their projects from the very beginning to the last touch put in its place is a great experience. When I am not at work I am usually skiing, water skiing, camping, riding my beach cruiser and just enjoying our great outdoors.

SARAH SABENE I moved from Dana Point, California to Victor, Idaho in 2010. Although it is a significant change going from beach-weather to snow-weather, I am already enjoying the beauty this area has to offer. I joined the team of Trauner Designs, Inc. in March of 2010 and am pleased to work for such a hardworking, fun and professional firm. When I am not helping out the Trauner team, I am spending time with my fiancé, Aaron, and my dog "Bear". We enjoy biking, off-roading and riding dirt bikes up and around the mountains.
