Who is Conrad?

 

Raised in Asheville, North Carolina—home of the world's largest collection of furniture and lighting fixtures—I was selected at age 5 to appear in the prestigious Refrigerator Decoration Galleria in my parents' kitchen, where I won best of show—a catalyst that began a lifelong passion for art and design.

After 15 years in New York City, I moved to Denver, Colorado where I live with my wife Natalie and a messy roommate, my one year old son, Jules.
