Dodgen Interiors Founder Benjamin Hayes, Interior Design Pittsburgh

Benjamin is an Ohio native who has always been interested in art, architecture, and history. During his family trips, he had the opportunity to visit many house museums, which sparked his love for architecture and interior design. According to him, it is essential to see architecture in situ to understand proportions, construction techniques, and interior design history. Benjamin is fascinated by the details of historic interiors and the stories they tell about their owners.

Benjamin graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design. He has worked with many clients in his career, and with each project, he puts in much care and research by delving into books, archival photos and film, as well as the proclivities of his stylish clients. Benjamin believes that interior design should elevate a person's lifestyle and allow them to live a better life through tailored design.
