After graduating, Beers traveled to Brazil on a Fulbright scholarship and worked in the office of legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Pattern Inspiration

The pattern is a tribute to Jeffrey’s upbringing in New York City and the inspiration he takes from the city’s architecture and planning. Specifically, the city’s metal fire escapes against its brick buildings drove the pattern’s geometric pattern and texture.
