new york design

After nine years abroad I returned to New York City and became a Project Architect for Naomi Leff & Associates. I worked on Ralph Lauren and Holt Renfrew stores and was charged with the projects for Lehman Brothers: the interiors of two Gulfstream III and two Gulfstream IV jets, and an Executive Retreat in Beaver Creek, Colorado that had a 21,000 sq.ft. clubhouse and (13) 3,300 sq.ft. condo units you could ski into.

In 1989 I started my own design practice. My first clients were partners from Pentagram Design: Etan Manasse, Colin Forbes and Woody Pyrtle and I designed with them exhibitions and stores for their print clients: MCI traveling trade show, Stars & Stripes exhibition (in Chiba, Japan), Fireworks Gallery in Seattle and Pentagram’s New York office. I expanded my practice to other graphic design firms and worked with Diana Graham on an exhibit of Aesop’s Fables and Frankfurt Balkind on an exhibition.
