Jamie Drake is co-founder of the award-winning, multidisciplinary interior design firm Drake/Anderson. Arguably the foremost colorist of our day, Drake brings his singular, exuberant design sensibility—which he has developed over 40 years—to every project. A graduate of Parsons, he is lauded for his ability to distill his vast knowledge of periods and styles with a discriminatingly modern connoisseurship, he creates environments that are both glamorous and eloquent, yet always interpreted through the unique prism of each client and assembled with a sense of contemporary comfort.
Equally adept at appointing a cosmopolitan glass-sheathed penthouse, a sprawling oceanfront estate or such commercial interiors as private foundations and state-of-the-art medical facilities, Drake is also a prolific designer of luxury products for the home. His collections include everything from carpets, rugs, and furniture, to fabrics, lighting, and bath fixtures and accessories.
Drake’s work has been featured in virtually every design publication of note, including Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Interior Design, and more. Among accolades too numerous to mention, he has held a spot for several years on the prestigious Architectural Digest AD100 list and the Elle Decor A-List. He also has been bestowed with Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars Award for Interior Design, inducted into the ASID College of Fellows, named to Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame, and was designated by House Beautiful as a Master Class designer.
Extremely active in many causes, Drake currently serves on the boards of The Alpha Workshops, the New York Community Trust, Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club and Parsons School of Design. He is co-chair of the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse and their President’s Dinner, benefitting the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, and he is a recipient of a Partnership for the Homeless Director's Award.
