origin story

Composition Design was founded in 2016 when the manager of a luxury apartment community in San Francisco encouraged space planning and contract furniture entrepreneur Scott Upper to start his own interior design and FFE purchasing business.

In 2020, at the height of pandemic restrictions, Scott pivoted from the city to refresh luxury outdoor resort common areas. For the next three years, Scott fine-tuned the operation by assembling a network of suppliers in multiple key regions.

In 2024, Scott partnered joined forces with Omar Boyd designs and moved the company headquarters to Chicago.

In 2025, Composition Design partnered with Maker & Moss, making it possible (finally!) to provide solutions to clients in both the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicagoland.
