Dario Associates is an Atlanta-based, boutique interior design firm offering over 30 years of design experience. The firm’s various Projects range from luxury residential homes to leading hotel and county club commissions. In 2005, Dario began providing interior design services with the strong belief that one-on-one communication is the best method to discover a Client’s wishes. Dario develops scope of work documents through creative collaboration and discussions – often through story-telling by Clients.
Dario Associates’ style is a contemporary mix of materials and textures, with a confident use of color; artfully balanced for what she terms “Practical-luxury”. Dario defines it as “real life expectations achieved with high style interiors”. It is an organic, bespoke result tailored for each Client.
Inspired by the way people gather, socialize, think, create, connect and play, Dario brings more life to work. Many of her Clients are repeat customers. This is especially true for Home Renovation Plans – one Project leads to the next.

Similarly, value added services are noted by our Corporate client’s stating Dario’s expertise and operational knowledge is the key to understanding their interior design needs. We partner with hoteliers, managers, and developers to solve their current challenges as well as anticipate design needs on the horizon. This forecasting saves time and money.
Dario Associates has been featured in Architectural Digest, on the Travel Channel and includes numerous ASID awards as well as outstanding design recognition in the industry.
Susan is a professional member of ASID; a past adjunct professor – American InterContinental University; and involved with NEWH. Susan graduated from Florida State University in 1981.

Business and Personal Tax Preparation
For nearly 20 years I have called Georgia my home after transferring from Southern California to work with The Coca-Cola Company. After a decade of working for this wonderful company, I was tempted by my entrepreneurial spirit to help run our family contracting business. Both of these experiences were the perfect foundation for the services I have been providing my clients at Cherokee CPA Services PC since 2006.
