David Fruscione

Principal, Creative Director and Founder of Republic of Decor

It takes more than creative instincts to do the job right.  My decades of experience with numerous clients and big brands like Banana Republic have given me the project management skills to navigate the logistics of building your home.  Unlike most designers, I am both-brained:  I have the creative skill and experience to create brilliant, one-of-a-kind spaces, and the organizational mind to execute projects on-time, on-budget and headache-free.  I stay on the edge of design by bringing my best to every project, pushing limits, and exposing clients to possibilities they never would have thought on their own.

I earn my clients’ trust by building real relationships with them.  Along the way, I keep then in the loop, hit my deadlines, and fulfill my promises.  My goal at the end of your project is for your space to feel completely done and completely you, down to the finest details and accessories.  I relish this challenge, because my clients deserve no less.  I make homes feel like they’ve been waiting for you all day when you enter them.  You won’t believe how good your home will feel, or how good you’ll feel in it.
