BastionMade is a design company with a curiosity for creativity based in the greatest city there is, NYC.
We were founded on the principle that design is a solution that shouldn’t be a luxury for a select few, but made available to all who seek it out. Backed by an array of design experience and expertise, we lead in design through collaboration and thoughtfulness.
When the time comes to tackle any design challenge, our team brings our passion, open minds and hearts to the table in order to create the best solutions.
Our Values
Our foundation is Integrity.
We stand behind our decisions and collaborate with those who approach problem solving with integrity and principles.
Honesty is our policy.
We start all projects with transparency and hold ourselves accountable for all actions and intentions.
Aspirational, but Attainable.
We’ll aim for the moon and have the means to walk on the surface. We always find clever ways to match our imagination’s reach.
Humble beginnings and ends.
We all start and finish on equal standing. We may grow to greatness, but will always respect our humble beginnings.
The Mindful Optimists.
We never let great get in the way of good. Success is only measured by what we can accomplish, not only hope to.
Empower through Inspiration.
Being the change you want to see in the world is not just a phrase, but an empowering call to action we take to heart.
The ones who make it happen.
Quinton Kerns founded Bastion Made in 2020 with the idea of bringing design into the lives of those who seek it out and want to fall in love with the spaces they inhabit.
He brings to the table over 15 years of design experience, starting with earning his degree in Architecture from Northeastern University and working in an array of design firms across multiple cities and abroad. His expertise in innovative housing began in Boston through collaborative design research and policy making outreach, but grew to greater heights in NYC when he was at the global forefront of the Co-living movement, working as a design lead with WeLive/WeWork and Design Director at Quarters.
His background in urban architectural design, paired with his passionate knowledge of interiors makes for a powerful combination of space planning and emotionally intelligent design.
With him, as always, is his trusted design assistant, Mr. Finn.
