Chasity
Our journey began in 2013 on the picturesque Long Island, NY. This is where our founder, Chasity Centeno, honed her craft, bringing her unique design perspective to clients not only in Long Island but also in vibrant locales such as New York City, New Jersey, Poconos, and Tennessee.
Chasity's professional trajectory is as diverse as it is impressive. Drawing from her experience in corporate America, where she navigated the realms of law and marketing, she brings a fresh, multidimensional approach to every project. Her academic pursuits reflect her dedication to mastering her craft, having attended the renowned Pace University and the esteemed Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
Her accolades speak to the caliber of her work. As a proud member of ASID, her dedication to design excellence has been recognized on national platforms, including features on NBC and the prestigious Architectural Digest's Top 100 list. Notably, her work has been showcased in the esteemed "Inspired Kitchen & Bath" book, solidifying her position as an industry trailblazer.
