Claudia Tejeda

New York Certified Interior Designer

Meet our founder and  principal interior designer, an award-winning New York State Certified Interior Designer (CID) and NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer.

Claudia Tejeda was born in the Dominican Republic. Acclimating to the United States at the age of 10 made her a keen observer of the different ways people live. Her parents were self-made entrepreneurs who lifted Claudia’s family into a better life, and she credits them with instilling an intense work ethic. Claudia received a BS in Advertising and Speech Communications from Syracuse University, and a degree in interior design from the New York School of Interior Design. She started her design career in the hospitality sector, designing restaurants for celebrity chefs. Later she was recruited by a 350-employee architecture firm to formalize their interior design department, and worked on restaurants, retail environments, and real-estate developments. Claudia launched her own firm in 2011. She continued to work on commercial projects, even as she carved out a niche in designing residences. In 2012, she was elected the youngest-ever president of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA).
