These masters defined his vision: the dynamic use of space, subtle materiality, and tailored elegance. In 1986 he established Jeffrey Beers International, bringing his signature sensibility to some of New York’s most vibrant restaurants, which he quickly expanded into hotels, resorts and residences.
When he was not brainstorming design ideas with his studio, you could find Jeffrey sculpting with molten glass, sustainably deep-sea fishing off the coast of the Atlantic, or cooking a meal for family and friends.
