From an early age, John has been immersed in the world of design. As the fifth generation from a long lineage of carpenters and builders, John has always been surrounded by raw materials and the endless possibilities of what they can become.
John expanded upon his technical skills studying Interior Design and Architecture at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where he combined his love of construction, interior and product design into a multi-faceted career.
After graduating from FIT, John managed the design studio at Flair in New York, where he designed high-end residential interiors across the country, and created capsule collections of furniture and home décor. After a long tenure at Flair, John honed his skills in furniture and product design by developing product lines for distinctive American brands such as Jonathan Adler, Bungalow 5 and Arteriors.
