President, Robert Ventolo, is living out his dream. Interested in architecture and design from a young age, Robert graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Architecture and a host of experiences already under his belt. His passion for the industry was furthered after six months traveling and studying in Barcelona, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy under the auspices of his mentor, Harvard Architectural Professor William Brinke. After graduation, Robert trained under his mentor Gary Crain at Gary Crain Associates. Robert credits his extensive knowledge of interior design, business ethics, and commitment to charities to Gary, an established and experienced designer in his time. Years later Robert and Gary partnered together to begin Crain & Ventolo Associates, focusing on providing design elegance to their diverse clientele. With roots in European traditionalism and drawn to the clean, modern look of gallery-like minimalism, Robert has created a style that is entirely his own.

He designs spaces around art, angles, and perspective curating his Euro-modern-minimalist interior design niche. Robert works collaboratively with his clients to achieve the exact look, finish, and environment they envision, providing extraordinary hands-on involvement from inception to completion of every project. Robert is not only a leader in the industry but also a role model for how to build a full-service firm and develop impressive clientele relationships.
