Jamie Drake is co-founder of the award-winning, multidisciplinary interior design firm Drake/Anderson. Lauded for his exuberant design sensibility and his ability to distill his vast knowledge of periods and styles with discriminating connoisseurship, Drake 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.

With an illustrious career spanning 40 plus years, Drake is 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. He is also a prolific designer of luxury products for the home with collections including carpets, rugs, furniture, 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, Traditional Home, 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.

Active in many causes, Drake currently serves on the boards of The Alpha Workshops, the New York Community Trust, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and Parsons School of Design. He is vice chair of the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse, benefitting the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, and he is an avid supporter of Housing Works and its Design on a Dime fundraiser.
