"Kathryn's look has been described as comfortable, bohemian, and family friendly with large doses of color and a lack of orthodoxy. Elle Decor dubbed it seat-of-the-pants chic. House & Garden included Ireland among "10 to Watch" architects and designers expected to influence 21st-century style. For the last decade, House Beautiful has named her one of the top 100 designers in the United States. Born in England, Kathryn was raised between her parents' homes in London and Scotland. She arrived in Los Angeles in 1986. Prior to launching her interior design business in the early 90's, Kathryn was an actress, clothing designer, and filmmaker.

Jeffrey Alan Marks believes the design process should be fun and creative much like his designs and personal style, which blends California ease with English formality. Having lived in Paris and Milan for many years where he worked as a model and then in design, his work also draws cues from Italian and French methods. Marks studied design at the prestigious Inchbald School of Design in England.
Marks’s colorful, laid back design style translates to the atmosphere at his firm, JAM Inc, which he started 15 years ago. Based in Santa Monica, the firm designs and develops luxury homes in America and the United Kingdom and develops commercial projects including restaurants and retail stores such as Tavern restaurant in Brentwood and The Hungry Cat in Santa Monica.
Being viewed among the key players in the Los Angeles Design Community, Marks is included in the Designers Circle in the San Francisco Antique Show and on the host Committee of the Los Angeles Antiques Show. He is listed among House Beautiful's Top 100 Designer list and is featured in major magazines, including Elle Decor, German Architectural Digest and the British In Style Home.
