Tara Mucklow, Chief Executive Merchant, Floor & Decor, Chicago
Creating spaces that are comfortable, memorable and inspiring.
My name is Tara Mucklow and I am the CEM at the F&D in Chicago. I have been with the company for 5 years. I have mostly grown up in Illinois and even completed my undergraduate work there at the Chicago Art Institute of Schaumburg with a degree in Interior Design. My love of design grew during college and sent me on the path I am on today. When I am not working I like to spend time with my family, traveling, and trying my hand at Vegan cooking.
My design style is Eclectic. I am drawn to Industrial and Boho. My favorite lines, styles, pieces at F&D is the Jet Black Basalt line, and all the products with white and gold . Where I would love to see F&D grow in the design field is to continue pushing the envelope with ingenuity and innovation. I feel like my culmination of past design experiences, leadership and mentoring roles, combined with my passion for people and product would really help F&D expand their design horizons and help drive the design services program.
