We are so excited to announce Corey Damen Jenkins as our opening keynote on Sunday! Nationally acclaimed designer Corey mixes vivid colors with layered patterns to create architecturally inspired spaces that are polished, inventive and unexpected. Taking cues from the haute couture runway, his projects feature luxurious and refined materials. “My goal is to ensure that my clients’ homes are always classic, livable and without an expiration date,” states the designer. Corey has worked with clients hailing from the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, and his firm maintains a New York City office.
