Mr. Perry began as an advertising executive where he developed solid business skills and the knowledge that client needs come first. However, he always loved design and his instinctive sense of style, along with encouragement from friends, allowed him to change professions. In 1982, he established Frank S. Perry Residential Interiors, Inc. Today his company offers a full range of professional services incorporating interior design, architectural services and construction management. Frank Perry is a native of Chicago and a professional member of IIDA.
