Nestor Santa-Cruz just recently joined the international firm Gensler as a design director. Bridging the worlds of corporate and residential design, Santa-Cruz, IIDA brings a special and sophisticated perspective to all of his interior design projects. Santa-Cruz was educated as an architect and is an NCIDQ Interior Designer. A professional member of IIDA and a LEED AP professional, he has held key positions with some of the country's most recognized design studios, including a 10 year tenure Skidmore Owings & Merrill, where his work received prestigious design awards and extensive press recognition.

The Santa-Cruz style is modern and restrained, yet classic; but it is always visually comfortable and engaging. He has a keen and judicious eye for proportion and color, often finding the perfect architectural detail and resulting in a complete design solution.

Santa-Cruz is equally successful designing executive offices for Citigroup's Chairman in New York City, the interiors for the 1.5 million-square-foot Headquarters of the U.S. Census Bureau, or a private residence in Georgetown. He draws inspiration from an array of both classical and contemporary references.

Born in Cuba, raised in South America and educated in the United States, he has developed a design sensibility that synthesizes the best in architectural form and decorative elements. The result: complex commercial interior design projects around the world and unique home environments for individuals. His work is published frequently in ELLE DÉCOR, Washington Home & Design, Southern Accents, Metropolitan Home, Spaces and other national and international publications. He has been a member of the Washington Hall of Fame since 2004.
