Born on the 4th of July, Donna was raised in New Smyrna Beach Florida in a home where everything was made by hand.  After studying architecture at Columbia University and working as a freelance graphic artist / web designer in Manhattan for 7 years, she crossed the Williamsburg Bridge and left the virtual design world behind to begin working in the 3D world of her Brooklyn studio. 

In 2003, Donna Brady formed RE-SURFACE with the idea that urban decay could be transformed into beautiful design elements for the home.
