Designer. Craftsman. Problem Solver.

Stephen Kinon’s design journey began in 1972, when an art school project turned into his first kitchen and bath assignment. What started as hand-drawn renderings; long before design software existed, quickly turned into a lifelong passion.

Since then, Stephen has designed everything from kitchens and bathroom suites to libraries, outdoor kitchens and entire oceanfront first floors. His work has been featured in The New York Times, industry journals and coffee table design books, earning him recognition as an international award-winning designer.
