As residential and commercial design continue to influence one another, I look forward to helping create meaningful conversations and connections across our industry.” 

Over the coming weeks, Design at Work New York will continue introducing the members of its Founding Steering Committee, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives to help shape the launch edition of North America’s dedicated workplace design fair.
