Dennis is the principal of Duffy Design Group, a firm recognized for its innovative and sophisticated approach to both residential and commercial interiors. His path to design was unconventional—after completing an undergraduate curriculum in chemistry and preparing for medical school, he took a detour and started his career in design at the Miami Design District. Intrigued by the world of interiors, he moved to New York City to study at Parsons School of Design while working for a small residential design firm. In 1989, he launched his own studio, focusing on projects in New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In 1996, Dennis transitioned to Boston, joining the interior design studio of Repertoire before establishing his own firm, Duffy Design Group, in 1999. Over the years, he has earned his NCIDQ certification, LEED Professional accreditation, and has contributed to the industry through leadership roles, including serving as director of education for the New England Chapter of IIDA (International Interior Design Association).
Dennis relocated to Tampa, Florida, in 2018, where he became actively involved with the ASID Florida West Coast Chapter, serving in various leadership positions. Returning to Boston in 2023, he is excited to bring his experience and passion for design back to the ASID New England Chapter. As president-elect, Dennis will play a key role in advancing the chapter’s mission, fostering education, advocacy, and professional growth within the design community.
We are thrilled to welcome Dennis to this leadership role and look forward to the vision and expertise he will bring to ASID New England.
