Trend setting designer and mentor has a passion for personalization
While designer Gail Drury is well known for her trend-setting designs, multiple design competition awards and plethora of published projects, she is currently breaking ground in an equally meaningful, if less visible, arena: as a mentor to the next generation of young designers.
The president of Drury Design and former NKBA instructor is on the board of a local college, and says she “loves mentoring students and being part of an interior design advisory board.” Her commitment to promoting future designers extends to her business, where she hires student interns to give them a taste of the industry.
With 35+ years of experience, Drury recognizes the need to be well versed in the latest trends, and has been making a name for herself in design circles with what she calls “a new twist on modern, I call it ‘farmhouse modern,’ offering a unique, contemporary look that also focuses on convenience.”
She believes her design success comes from her commitment to creating personalized living areas that truly fit the client’s lifestyle, and channels her passion for art and interior architecture into creating spaces that not only address fashion and function, but that also maximize the client’s ideas and preferences.
