Product Design
J.M. Szymanski
J.M. Szymanski introduces radical new shapes and explores new materials and textures. Each work demonstrates a fascination with severe geometries, raw materials, and unique forms. Jake designs and fabricates his work at his Bronx studio. His design education began in his early childhood where he and his family spent several years living in Nepal. Later, in his early 20’s, he moved to Spain where he studied the designs of Gaudi, visited the Alhambra and made frequent trips to Morocco. He returned to the USA to study interior design at The Fashion Institute of Technology and at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Tamara Stephenson & Susan Young

Susan Young and Tamara Stephenson are long-time friends with backgrounds in interior design, fashion and fine art, who came together to work on residential interior design projects.

Channeling the artistry of women hundreds of years ago, the duo utilizes Tamara’s astute design eye, sense of color and demands for quality with Susan’s expertise in manufacturing, artistry and attention to detail.
