studio D’s founder has over fifteen years experience in the home furnishings and design industry. With a business degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and a Bain & Company management consulting background under her belt, she has been sourcing, developing, and merchandising products for industry leaders for longer than she likes to admit! She moved to Australia in the 90’s for five years, returning to the U.S. to meld her love of business with her passion for interiors. She became the VP of Merchandising for Exposures Homes start up catalog in Connecticut, and later recruited by Pottery Barn Kids in San Francisco, before following her entrepreneurial dreams founding studio D in 2003. Gail has built studio D to be a company where service, execution and visual appeal are paramount, providing unparalleled home staging, design, and retail home furnishings to the Bay Area for over fifteen years. In addition to California, studio D has been staging high-end properties in New York, having acquired the New York Staging Company in 2010. Studio D has appeared on HGTV’s “Selling NY”; BRAVO’s “Curb Appeal,” and has been featured in Vogue, The New York Times, and Wall Street Journal’s “House of the Week.” Gail and her buyers travel locally and abroad for inspirational ideas to infuse within the company. This is one of the many ways studio D continues to develop fresh, daring looks while adding value for developers, retailers, homeowners, and commercial design clients alike. Originally from the East Coast herself, Gail has lived in New York, Boston, Connecticut, & Australia, and she is now settled in the San Francisco Bay Area.
