About

Richard

and

Vicki

I began my journey in the area of design at a young age. I grew up in a family deeply rooted in the furniture business in New Jersey.  It was there,  where I first discovered my love for transforming spaces and creating atmospheres that spoke to people's individual tastes and preferences.  I wanted to do more than arrange furniture; so, fueled by my entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to explore my creative potential further, I took a huge step forward in my early 20’s by founding my own design firm in New Jersey. My eye for detail, innovative design concepts, and dedication to personalized service quickly propelled my firm to success.

As demand for my services grew, I made the strategic decision to relocate my business to the heart of design and architecture - New York City.  Vicki had moved to NYC after graduating from the University of Georgia with a BFA in Art with emphasis in interior design.   We worked together for years then married.

Although we continued working in the Northeast, in 1994, seeking a change of pace and a deeper connection with nature, we made the decision to relocate to the Lake Oconee area in Eatonton, Georgia. Here, amidst the tranquil beauty of the countryside, we continue to draw inspiration from our surroundings, infusing our designs with elements of tranquility, warmth, and timeless elegance.

Our hope is that we are not merely defined by the spaces we’ve crafted but by the lasting impression we’ve left on the hearts and minds of those who have experienced our work firsthand.
