The Anti-Architect

In this episode, Christian sits down with Jeffrey Bershad, CEO of Phillip Jeffries. For over 40 years, the family business has grown to be one of the largest and most respected wallcovering companies globally, operating in New Jersey, London, and Singapore. Jeffrey’s father, Eric, founded the company in 1976 with ten grasscloths and an inspiring entrepreneurial drive. Today, Phillip Jeffries remains a family-owned and operated company, with Jeffrey and his brother, Philip, at the helm. Phillip Jeffries aims to be socially responsible, planting trees for every order (more than 200,000 trees have been planted).

What is The Anti-Architect?

Welcome to The Anti-Architect Podcast. I’m your host Christian Giordano. As the president and owner of design firm Mancini Duffy, I’m driven by a quest for learning and radically changing the industry through tech-first innovation. With this podcast, I’m hoping to improve the industry that I’m so passionate about by taking a critical look at how architects work with their clients and, in turn, how our clients view us.

It’s my goal to showcase all of these experiences - good and bad. Was it the architect or the client - or somewhere in between? I aim to bring my audience new voices from our industry, interesting people with diverse backgrounds. Through shared experiences, stories, and projects my hope is that we can improve our profession.
