Formation of JBI
JBI was founded by Jeffrey Beers in 1986, after he got I. M. Pei's blessing to do so.[1] The goal of the company is to combine artistic and cultural knowledge, sophisticated urban sensibilities, and standout design skills. The result is a team consisting of architects, interior designers, painters, sculptors and graphic designers.[2]
Leadership
After the death of Jeffrey Beers in March 2025, JBI announced its new representative partners: Tim Rooney, Michael Pandolfi and Nora Liu-Kanter. They each had been working for JBI for at least 20 years.[3]
