Growing up in an eccentric family of dairy farmers on Long Island and a small clan of renowned designers, photographers and artists in Manhattan propelled Jamie to study art and architecture in New Orleans and in Venice, Italy with a strong focus on an organic modernism and the natural world.
Recognized for his ability to blur the lines between architecture and interior design, his ethos has always been to approach the design of a space as one holistic vision, mixing period and contemporary furnishings with a fresh and discriminating eye. Jamie’s designs have been featured in over 70 publications worldwide including Architectural Digest, Interior Design, Vogue, Elle Decor, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times as well as several coffee table books. In 2017 Jamie was appointed to the Tulane School of Architecture Board of Advisors and was most recently honored into the 2019 and 2020 AD 100 top global architects and designers of the year, as well as Elle Decor’s A-List of top designers for 2019.
