Chris Maier, IFDA
I can trace my interest in decorating back to childhood when I would constantly rearrange my bedroom as well as those of my friends. During college at the University of Pennsylvania I was able to take full advantage of Philadelphia's historic resources as well as many courses in the American decorative arts and fine arts. I graduated in 1964 with a BA in American Studies.
It wasn't until my two children were in high school that I was able to truly explore my interest in interior design. I enrolled at Chamberlayne Junior College in Boston and graduated in 1988 with an Associate Degree in Interior Design. Immediately thereafter I joined the Weston Studio.
Over the years I have come to realize that those courses in art, color, drafting and lighting, to name a few, have been invaluable in helping me to bring discriminating design solutions for the many ideas and wishes of my clients. I am a member of the International Furnishings and Design Association and my additional interests include collecting antiques, flower arranging and garden design.
