Tessa Lauritzen
Born and raised in Austin, Tessa Lauritzen has a love for all things local. Her lifelong experience of the city has afforded her a rich tapestry of knowledge of Austin’s communities and people. Her independence and ambition were stoked early on by her entrepreneur-father, who started and grew his music management company in Austin. The importance of supporting homegrown businesses is a value she practices in earnest.
Along with her local expertise, Tessa brings a flair for details and a genuine passion for her work as an assistant to Meredith Alderson. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with an emphasis on corporate communications and a minor in business. In addition to her studies, she served as Public Relations chair, organized events, and ran social media for her college sorority.
With an appreciation for architecture and interior design and a service-oriented personality, a career in real estate felt precisely right for Tessa. She was bitten by the real estate bug after playing an integral part in real estate transactions for her parents over the past several years. She enjoys connecting with a diverse array of people in her work for clients. Nothing is more important than helping a client find a property they love. Tessa is excited to be working with Meredith to help serve their clients in the best way possible.
In her free time, you can find her walking her dog Ralphie around the hike and bike trail, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, and catching some live music at The Mohawk or ACL Live. Her love of music runs deep—she’s attended every Austin City Limits music festival since it started in 2002. Tessa also makes it a point to get to know the “new” Austin, often meeting up with friends to try new restaurants and venues. This Austinite also jumps at the chance to travel somewhere new, now and then.

Design Feature: Paint the Rainbow at Austin’s “Skittles House”
What started with a simple desire for blue kitchen cabinets blossomed into an extraordinary multicolored masterpiece when Page Paul Architecture & Interiors transformed a modest East Austin residence. The homeowners, a creative couple feeling confined in their 700-square-foot space during lockdown, embraced an ambitious renovation that introduced 19 distinct paint colors throughout the property. Inspired by the vivid hues in a magazine`s fruit bowl photograph, the design team crafted a whimsical "Skittles-inspired" aesthetic, complete with a Barbie-pink porch and striking tangerine details. The project skillfully merged function with artistic expression, expanding the 1961 structure to 1,300 square feet while incorporating custom tilework and bold design choices. The result is a dynamic living space that perfectly captures the homeowners` artistic essence while solving their space constraints.

We’re so excited for two new spots in the revamped W Austin: Serenade and Blue Room. Serenade opened in late October, offering Texas-inspired twists on classic brasserie dishes in a stunning space with lofty ceilings, nature-inspired art, and a show-stopping crystal chandelier. Blue Room, a dimly-lit, Prohibition-style cocktail lounge, feels like a hidden gem where skilled bartenders craft extraordinary drinks. With Serenade’s all-day dining and Blue Room’s intimate ambiance, these new spots are a great addition to downtown Austin 🌆
