About the Designer:

Mark Schryver's interest in interior design began at an early age. As a child he spent hours drawing floor plans and dreaming up fantasy homes. He never imagined this 'hobby' of his might lead to an actual profession, so he pursued a business career after graduating from Penn State and obtaining an MBA from New York University.

Interior Designer Mark Schryver at home in East Hampton, NY.

Mark's success in his sales and marketing positions enabled him to purchase a home of his own in East Hampton, NY where he finally had the opportunity to try his hand in interior design. He immediately saw the potential in transforming a neglected 1920's bungalow into a comfortable home for his family and friends.

The New York Times published a story on how Schryver converted his garage into a romantic 'summer house' in 2004. Soon afterwards, Mary Emmerling's Home Companion did a feature story on a "comfortable, quirky cottage in East Hampton". Schryver Design completed its first major project when a couple read the story and knew immediately that they had found the designer with the right mix of style and comfort they wanted in their own family home.
