Bill Ferris is the President and Design Expert at Decor Outdoor. He has an MBA from Duke University and started his professional career with the Coca-Cola Company in brand management. His love of mid-century modern furniture can be traced to Hans Wegner chairs brought back by his family from Europe in the early 1970s. He's developed a passion for the Art Deco period and French Country shabby chic style. Truth be told, he's become a bit obsessed with industrial steampunk designs in movies like Hugo, 12 Monkeys and City of Lost Children.
