Dan and John have enjoyed working together on creative projects since their meeting 20 years ago in England. Their most treasured project has been making a home together. In 2013, they completed an addition and renovation to their 100 year old house.
With a shared belief that a thoughtfully designed environment enhances well-being and enjoyment of daily life, they not only transformed their home, but also their careers. They combined their talents into ‘Dan and John Life’ — a creative partnership that provides design vision and guidance to enable clients to feel great in their space!
Dan and John live in a leafy neighborhood in New Jersey, minutes from Manhattan.
