A native of Augusta, Georgia, John is a self-described “Southern Gentleman.” He began his career in the floral industry and worked with notables including Ryan Gainey of Atlanta, Kenneth Turner of London, and Renny of New York prior to starting his own floral studio with his brother in Aspen. John naturally moved toward interior design to expand his creative talents. After working with notable designers, Charlotte Moss and David Easton, John founded his eponymous firm in 2005.

John’s projects have spanned the country’s urban and suburban enclaves, including Manhattan, Los Angeles, Miami, Palm Beach, and Palm Springs. His international work has taken him to Basel and London – two of his favorite cities in the world. His projects have been featured in Architectural Digest, Veranda, House Beautiful, Southern Accents, Hamptons Cottage & Gardens, Charlotte Home & Gardens, and Aspen Peak Magazine.  As an entertaining and design aficionado, he appeared in a cameo on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” after designing a home for one of the lead reality stars. 

John is a frequent traveler, and when not globe-trotting to design events or to see his clients, he can be found in his Atlanta office from where he guides his team and his projects.
