No filter. No apology. Just Tanya. Started in fashion.
Detoured through oil fields.
Built half of Downtown Dallas
along the way.

I’ve spent twenty years developing some of the most significant projects in North Texas; the Farmers Market District, the West End, the Government District in Downtown Dallas. Founder and President of Wildcat Management. The only woman in most of those rooms.

I started in fashion. Then oil and gas. Then real estate. And somewhere along the way…. in the middle of construction sites and boardrooms and deals people said couldn’t close; the girl who started in fashion became the most talked-about dresser in Dallas commercial real estate. Usually in heels. Occasionally in Chanel. Always the one willing to say what nobody else would put on the record.

Fashion never left me. It just waited while I built an empire.
Tanya Out Loud is the full circle. The deals, the developments, the style, the substance.

No filter. No apology. Just Tanya.
