Max Humphrey on rewriting the rules of design
Max Humphrey’s first career didn’t exactly lend itself to well-designed spaces. As a musician in a touring band, Humphrey spent most of his time traveling the country, crashing on couches and staying in dingy motels. When he finally settled down in his first solo apartment in Los Angeles, the bare walls staring back at him led to a creative firestorm—soon he was decorating. Since launching his own firm five years ago in Portland, Oregon, the designer has run his business with an unconventional playbook: No growth. No bad jobs. No compromises. It’s a story of taking a creativity-first approach—and writing your own definition of success.
