Dana Brown
Interior Design
Though the company she owns has been around since 1979, Dana Brown has steered the ship at Interiors by Brown for only the last 9 years. When her husband, Steve, passed away after running the business for almost 35 years, Brown became President of the company. She has perpetuated its success while preserving her husband’s legacy of top-class customer service and excellence in design.
“The company has been through many changes,” says Brown, “but the last nine years are the ones I’m most proud of.” The team at Interiors by Brown, including CEO Jayson Friedman — many of whom have been with the company for more than a decade, sometimes two — completely rebranded and redesigned the showroom to create a complete residential and commercial interior design firm. Brown’s daughter, Susan and sister-in-law, Pam Nadler, are also part of the team, making Interiors by Brown a true family owned-and-operated business.
Going through the design process with her clients and watching a space come to life, Brown says, is her favorite part of the job.
“From initial ideas to picking out fabrics, colors and accessories, it’s all so satisfying,” she says. “I love to see how happy the clients are with the end product and how proud they are to show off their beautifully designed space.”
As a family-owned and operated business, Interiors by Brown places special emphasis on building and maintaining relationships with their clients. Steve Brown was well-loved by the community, with connections all over the country. Dana is committed to honoring his memory by growing the business further and delivering the best possible outcomes for the clients who have worked with Interiors by Brown throughout the company’s lifespan.
Her success in that shows in her clients, most of whom come through referrals from previous customers.
“We’ve done people’s first, second and third homes, vacation properties and more,” she says. “We know we’re doing a good job when the clients are happy and they tell people about our work.”
Dana Brown has already transformed the company with the rebrand and transition to a full-service design firm with a new commercial design division, but her goals stretch beyond that.
“We want to make the experience of working with us even better, year after year,” she says. “We want to continue to grow and we want to continue to keep our promises to our customers. We could not do what we love without them.”
