Marla Gutzwiller celebrated 30 years of design excellence with Epstein Design Partners, Inc. on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. To celebrate this momentous day, the Epstein Design crew gathered at Chinato and enjoyed a tasting menu lunch prepared by Zack Bruell just for the occasion.

As a designer, partner, instructor and art director – Marla’s love and enthusiasm of design remains a constant inspiration. Drawing from her rich experience and knowledge – one cannot help but be influenced by Marla’s approach to design, enjoying the research and the exploration of possibilities any particular design project can take. Epstein Design congratulates our good friend and colleague, and look forward to many more years of collaboration!

Here are some more fun additions to the Interactive Studio, Krystal Glass Writing Boards. I have had my eye on these for some time, since a designer friend had shown them to me. We finally ordered a few and installed them in the studio. Not only do they look nice, but I am sure they will come in very useful in organizing projects.


It is always a melancholy feeling in the autumn when the air becomes too crisp for outdoor lunches, and the porch furniture once again journeys up into the attic. With another Cleveland winter behind us, we were most eager to return the furniture to the porch and enjoy our first lunch of the season in the warm spring weather. We look forward to another season of lunches, and even meetings, out in the open air and sunshine!

Due to growth in the interactive portion of our firm, we have created a new space to allow the web and interactive types to collaborate. Converting the second conference room/library into the interactive studio took longer than anticipated but the result is something that we are very happy with. Now the decision remains… what to put on the walls.
