Tanner Arkfeld

interior designer

My name is Tanner and I am a Interior Designer at Ponton Interiors. I graduated from Central Michigan University in 2019 with a degree in Interior Design and Art. I was raised in beautiful northern Michigan and grew up snowboarding, golfing and spending summer days on Lake Michigan. In 2021, I decided it was time to trade the snow for sand and I moved to Florida.

I’ve had a love for design for as long as I can remember. My favorite part of being a designer is the rush I get when a client sees their space for the first time. The look of pure happiness on their face and knowing that I had a part of making their house a home. It really makes me love what I do.

After office hours, I love taking my golden retriever Maisie to the dog beach, going to the pool or exploring and trying new things in Tampa!

 
 

 

Sarah Schneider

interior designer

I’m Sarah, and my journey into interior design began in my hometown of Jacksonville Beach. Growing up in an artistic family and being exposed to construction from a young age, I developed a deep appreciation for design. I spent my childhood collecting shark teeth and studying the gorgeous coastal homes that dotted our shores.

I followed my passion for design to Florida State College of Jacksonville, where I earned my degree in Interior Design. Four years ago, I took a leap of faith and moved to St. Petersburg to chase my dream of becoming an interior designer. I recently celebrated a big milestone—buying a home here, where my family and our chocolate Lab are making lots of happy memories.

Travel is one of my greatest loves, and I find endless inspiration in exploring new places. Whether it’s soaking up unique architecture or diving into different cultures, each adventure adds a special touch to my designs.

 At Ponton Interiors, I’m excited to bring a touch of coastal charm and global inspiration to each project. I love crafting spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also deeply personal and reflective of my clients’ unique stories. 

 
 

 

Adrianna Plotner

Junior designer

I’m Adrianna, a junior designer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect the people who live in them.

I hold an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration, which has provided me with a strong foundation in project management, organization, and client communication—skills that have been incredibly valuable throughout my design career. Over the past 7 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through on-the-job training, working on a wide range of interior projects that have helped shape my eye for detail and love for creating inviting, personalized spaces. I’ve also taken additional interior design courses to sharpen my skills and stay inspired by new trends and techniques.


When I’m not designing, you’ll find me spending time with my wonderful husband and our two amazing girls. We love going on adventures together, whether it's exploring a new destination, hitting the beach, or simply enjoying time outdoors. These experiences fuel my creativity and influence the way I approach design—with a sense of joy, warmth, and a love for natural beauty.

Whether you’re looking to refresh a single room or transform an entire home, I’m here to help bring your vision to life with creativity, care, and a personalized touch

 
 

 

Spencer Quaye

Junior Designer

My name is Spencer and I am a Junior Designer here at Ponton Interiors. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2023 with a degree in Interior Design and Architecture. Though I was born in New Jersey, I grew up along the sunny shores of South Florida and recently made the move to Tampa to start a fresh chapter.


It seems that design runs through my family—my mom worked in architecture, and I still remember being completely captivated the first time I saw a set of floor plans. I started out dreaming about exteriors, but over time, I fell deeply in love with what happens inside a space: the color stories, the textures, the little curated moments that turn a house into a home.

When I’m not collaborating with my incredible team, I’m usually out and about exploring Tampa and St. Pete’s local gems, or hopping over to Orlando for some fun at the theme parks. On quieter days, you’ll find me cozied up on my sofa, tea in hand, fully immersed in a good book or rewatching a movie series I've probably watched more times than the average person.

The west coast of Florida has already won me over, and I can’t wait to keep discovering its charm—one beautiful, personalized space at a time. I’m so thrilled to be part of the Ponton Interiors family, helping turn our clients' homes into places filled with heart, harmony, and style.
