For me, the most successful results begin with intensive consultations with my clients. Following this crucial step, I often work with my clients through every stage from design through general contracting through art curating. A somewhat winding path to interior design taught me many different things, all of which helped me to assume the many roles I now enjoy in my work. After earning my undergraduate degree in fine arts from Bradley University in Illinois, I returned to New York City to pursue a Masters degree in art at NYU. While in graduate school, I was employed in a designer showroom to the trade and to oversee their factory in Brooklyn. There I learned about reading plans, developing specifications and building custom furniture, finishing and upholstery. Acting as a liaison among the designer, client and workmen provided invaluable hands-on training. I soon began designing home interiors, marrying each client's vision to its desired execution. This developed into what has become a 30-year career, spanning all phases of architectural detailing and interior design for both residential and commercial properties. Jonathan currently resides in New York City and Bridgehampton.
