Joanne M. Larman, Designer

 

With a passion for color, creativity and unique design, Joanne brings over 20 years of design experience to her full service Interior Design business.

Prior to working from her design studio in Falmouth, Joanne owned her own home furnishings store and design studio, JML Casual Home in Falmouth. Before that, Joanne developed high quality home furnishings textiles, rugs, furniture and accessories sold internationally through the LL Bean and Cuddledown of Maine catalogs, GH Bass and worked in the fashion apparel industry.

Years of international travel to trade shows and working in factories in the US and Europe bring a solid background to Joanne’s understanding of quality home furnishings products and unique design. Her extensive background in the field of color, textile, furniture and rug design for the home furnishings catalog industry and national retail stores brings an expertise to her business that supports her natural artistic talent.

An active community leader, Joanne is currently serving on the design committee or the first Leed certified Habitat for Humanity house to be built in Maine, the design committee for a new assisted living facility at Cedars in Portland, and is a volunteer facilitator for the Center for Grieving Children.
