Christopher Deo
owner/founder
Chris holds an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Minnesota. He has been arranging and installing art for 20 years professionally. He has lived and worked in both NYC and Minneapolis. During his 13 years in New York, he had the opportunity to work for Ilevel. Through the sheer magnitude of volume, talent, and wonderfully challenging expectations, he grew some serious chops.
In additon to working closely with some of New York's most talented designers and installers, Chris also spent time pursuing his artistic practice which routinely led him on personal tangents to exciting new opportunities for growth and learning.

"...stretcher and frame design and construction have led me to woodworking more broadly, furniture, then architectural repairs, reconstruction, and newly built elements. Drawing led me to tattoos which led me to working with brass and silver, making jewelry, brackets, mounts, and hardware for art and design..."
