Rebecca
Rebecca was born with wanderlust, guts, and a love of culture. Before she was even 24, she spent 9 months in Senegal, backpacked through 7 countries in West Africa, and traveled solo for a year through South and Southeast Asia (including a job at a reggae bar in Malaysia). Since then, independent travel has remained a steady priority in her life.
Brian
Read MoreWhen Brian moved from Chicago to Portland, he answered an ad in the Oregonian for a rug washer and fell in love. Twenty plus years later, he's still romanced by the craft of rugs. Outside of the gallery, he loves to spend time with family, reading, and singing karaoke. Oh, and some say he plays a mean game of ping pong.
Sean
Read MoreA Houston native with a background in fashion and personal styling, Sean was one of those kids who would constantly rearrange and paint his bedroom. After a stint as a personal stylist, he moved to Portland in 2014 where he has enjoyed working in interiors ever since. Design in any form is vital to his being, he loves working with clients and helping them find that perfect piece. Custom rugs are a personal favorite because it allows him the freedom to help design the perfect rug for any space - whether it's a living room or a hotel lobby.
Michael
Read MoreBorn and raised right in the heart of Portland, Michael was introduced to design at an early age by his mom, an avid antiquer. Most weekends involved traveling to flea markets and estate sales on the search for antique vanity sets, perfume bottles, art nouveau side tables, and very often, Persian rugs. Upon receiving a business degree from Portland State University, an opportunity to work with a high-end residential architect influenced his decision to follow his passion for design which led him back to school for his interior design degree.
Joseph
Read MoreJoseph came upon interiors and décor at an early age. While helping run a Design Trade showroom with his family in Southern California, he found a love for interiors and working with the design community. Bespoke became a passion, and sustainability a priority, during his 20 years representing furniture and accessory companies. Joseph moved to Portland in 2019 to be with family, and Portland has become home. He prides himself on his close relationships with his clients, encouraging creativity while focusing on detail and integrity.

Krista
Read MoreKrista is a graphic designer and illustrator, and while she has called Oregon home for most of her life, her eastern Idaho roots run deep. She has a background in fine arts, and studied textiles and printmaking in college before working as a textile designer for numerous apparel companies.
Krista’s design aesthetic is inspired by the colors and textures of the natural world, which she has expressed throughout her life in illustrations, ceramics, and floral design. This aesthetic, along with her love of art and culture, finds the perfect balance in rug design: Krista loves the challenge of incorporating natural fibers and timeless traditions to represent new ideas.
Anthony
Read MoreHi, I’m Anthony. I moved to Portland in the middle of 2014, after Job Corps, to help take care of my grandma when she suddenly took a bad turn. Since then, I've wondered where I wanted to position myself in life. As a jack of all trades, my first job in PDX was running a Lebanese deli on the campus of PSU. I was ready for a change after a few years, and fell upon Kush Rugs where they made me feel at home.Jeff
Read MoreJeff hails from California. Like so many before him, he thought he could make it big there, that he would be a star. Alas, rejection after rejection started to cast a pall over his naturally joyful heart. Living on the streets of LA isn't easy for a small brown dog, so one day he followed a group of kids to elementary school, figuring they'd give him some love. Jeff adores kids. In the playground of the school he was swooped up by animal control and taken to a shelter. He didn't like the California shelter, but luckily he was sent to the Oregon Humane Society on a bus and he wasn't even there one day before he found his new family.
