In the whirlwind of their journey together, Michael and John’s love story has been intricately woven with a passion for design, a knack for renovation, and a commitment to creating extraordinary spaces. It all began in their first year when, after meeting, they embarked on a series of transformative projects that not only strengthened their bond but also established them as formidable forces in the world of design and real estate.

Their initial venture involved falling in love, renovating, and successfully selling an apartment in the vibrant neighborhood of Harlem. This set the stage for their subsequent endeavor, where they ventured into the Catskills to renovate and launch a wildly successful Airbnb. Fueled by their shared vision and the allure of creative transformation, Michael and John then set their sights on the suburbs. A year later, the duo brought their design prowess to their New Jersey home, marking the beginning of a new chapter. Unfazed by the scale of their aspirations, they opened Unjumbold in Hoboken, a venture that would soon become synonymous with their distinctive design style. To complement this, John became a licensed Realtor in New Jersey, expanding their reach and influence in the real estate market. With a keen focus on customer-facing renovations, Michael and John rapidly gained recognition as in-demand Renovation Designers. Their portfolio expanded to include four properties in the picturesque Catskills, showcasing their ability to infuse natural elements and warmth into every project. Their journey took another leap forward with the establishment of a Kitchen, Bath & Home Design Showroom at their retail location on 257 1st Street in Hoboken, NJ. This addition allowed them to offer clients a tangible experience of their design philosophy – a harmonious blend of modern minimalism and eclectic boldness.

Meet Michael, the meticulous eye behind the details and the organizational backbone of their dynamic duo. Raised in Dunellen, NJ, Michael’s journey from a degree in Elementary Education to a prominent role as Director of Visuals for a global apparel company reflects his unwavering commitment to excellence in the retail world. And then there’s John, the Texas-born creative force with a passion for design and a decade-long journey in producing live entertainment, designing and opening Bars/Restaurants/Venues in NYC, and managing Airbnbs. His pursuit of a degree in Musical Theatre and Business laid the foundation for the diverse skill set he brings to their collaborative ventures.

United by a shared design aesthetic, Michael and John’s love for modern minimalism with eclectic finishes resonates in every space they create. Inspired by their love for the outdoors and the allure of Upstate New York, their designs boast natural wood finishes and rich warm tones, reflecting a unique blend of sophistication and earthy warmth. Together, they’ve not just crafted spaces; they’ve created a narrative of love, creativity, and unparalleled design excellence.

Continuing their journey of innovation and creativity, Michael and John have expanded their horizons to include the construction of custom design-built homes in New Jersey, in partnership with their exclusive building teams. Their repertoire now extends beyond renovations, with ongoing projects that involve crafting homes from the ground up, translating their unique design philosophy into fully realized living spaces. One of the most ambitious projects in their portfolio is the construction of their own forever home in West Orange, NJ. This endeavor serves as a personal and professional showcase, encompassing everything they cherish about design, architecture, and the art of creating spaces that resonate with both functionality and aesthetics. Their forever home is more than just a construction project; it’s a manifestation of their evolving design sensibilities, a canvas upon which they paint their dreams and aspirations. This undertaking allows Michael and John to push the boundaries of what’s possible in custom home design, infusing each room with elements that reflect their personalities, preferences, and a deep understanding of the modern homeowner’s needs.

As in-demand Renovation Designers in New Jersey, their expertise now extends to the initial stages of architectural planning, ensuring that every nuance of the custom-built homes aligns with their clients’ visions. The ongoing projects showcase a commitment to quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a seamless integration of modern design principles. Their hands-on approach to the construction process sets them apart, providing clients with a unique level of involvement and a sense of collaboration that goes beyond the traditional client-designer relationship. Michael and John’s dedication to transparency and open communication ensures that each project, whether it’s their forever home or a client’s dream residence, is a true reflection of collaborative vision and creative excellence.
