About

I am Chris Snyder, a highly accomplished, award-winning interior and furniture designer with over 30 years of experience developing luxury designs for residential and commercial spaces. I created a custom high-end furniture company in 2001 and have drawn on experience in boat and yacht design since 1990. I have also designed high-end 3D lighted sculptures and owned a luxe fashion boutique/art gallery/furniture showroom.

As the President/Owner of a full-service interior design firm, I guide projects from concept to completion, coordinating outside contractors, architects, developers, and vendors, while selecting fabrics, finishes, and equipment. My early career included AutoCAD work for major commercial projects such as Denver International Airport and large corporate clients.
