Gina Berndt

With a passion for developing others’ talents, Gina understands how diverse groups with different perspectives can work in harmony to create a successful team. In her tenure as managing director of our founding Chicago Studio, she transformed its workplace culture into a vibrant hub of creativity, nurturing the individual talents and interests of staff at all levels. Gina has served on our firmwide board of directors since 2013 and will continue to influence our strategy through her role overseeing global marketing.

Gina grew up in Berwyn, a suburb of the Windy City known for its collection of 1920s Chicago-style bungalows. Her love of art is what sparked her interest in interior design at a young age, but her strength in both marketing and finance solidified her transition from an interior design professional to a business leader. Gina thoroughly enjoys her work, and maintains that staying true to her instincts is what has led to her success.
