Teresa Casahonda

Account Manager

My name is Teresa Casahonda and I am an account manager here at The Office Shop.

I have been working here since 2012. I earned an Interior Design 3-Year Diploma from the International Academy of Design and was the Fitwel Ambassador in 2018. I didn’t always want to work in this field, I wanted to be a writer. Alas, I love working at The Office Shop and I wouldn’t change it! At work, no day is the same, which makes each day an adventure. I have many responsibilities that require me to be in our showroom or venturing to various locations. For example, one day I have meetings in either our showroom or one of our vendor partners showrooms. While other days I meet with clients at their offices to do a consultation and take site measurements if necessary. There are also days when I attend networking events or seminars.

My workdays are never predictable, but I always get to spend time with my family who means the absolute world to me. Every day, I pick up my girls at school and bring them to their extra-curricular activities. I put away some time for myself every day to have tea time. I have become somewhat of a tea connoisseur ever since my first pregnancy; my favorite is Earl Grey which I sip as I listen to Andrea Bocelli. My alone time or tea time as I call it is important to me but I love being surrounded by my family. I cherish every moment of the evenings spent with my husband and daughters, I am always happiest when I am with them.

When I’m not working I love to spend my time cooking! I love to try out new dishes and I always put a twist on the recipe so that it is uniquely mine. I have become so confident in the kitchen that I trust my sense of smell and don’t taste a dish until it is on our plates. Seriously, I could recreate almost any dish without the recipe. Being in the kitchen, creating a dish that I know everyone will love brings me so much joy. I cook dinner for my family every night and I look forward to hosting dinner parties so I can serve as many people as I can! When I cook for my friends and family, their full plates and stomachs are my way of showing each person how much I care for them.

My family means the world to me, they are who I admire the most in the world. Especially my wonderful parents and in-laws who endured difficulties but managed to ensure we grew up loved and successful. I was born and raised in Mexico and my parents separated when I was very young. My mom raised my two siblings and I gracefully. My father lost his mother when he was a child and even with his father hardly present in his life, he was able to become a successful doctor in Mexico. My in-laws escaped Vietnam in the 70s searching for a better life. As refugees in Canada, they were able to thrive and be successful. Our parents are the reason my husband and I are who we are today.

I am very passionate about interior design, furniture, and organization in and out of The Office Shop. Walking into a blank canvas I can see its potential, picture how I can make it organized, and functional.  I enjoy interior design so much that when I am at home I love watching renovation shows;  it keeps my inspiration flowing all day long! I also have a great passion for sustainability, human rights, equality, and how our actions in the present will affect people in the future. I teach my daughters about these important topics by having open conversations as I try to lead by example.

“Be the change you want to see in the world,” Gandhi. I love that quote and try to live by it every day.

Access Rehab Inc would like to thank you for furnishing our new clinic in Vaughan. It was pleasure working with the designer whose choice of colour is on point. The customer service and delivery was an excellent experience. I can see now why they are voted one of the top ten office furniture in Toronto. It was a very smooth and executed experience. I would highly recommend The Office Shop Inc.

I worked with DeAnna to purchase new furniture for my office and I could not be more pleased. DeAnna worked me with for several days to finalize the design and we received all our furniture in under three weeks! The delivery team was extremely kind and worked with us to ensure that the set up was exactly what we wanted. I am so happy with all of our new office furniture. I would definitely work with The Office Shop again and I would absolutely recommend them.
