McGovern Project is a full-service interior design firm based in
New York.
Founded in 2018 by Chris McGovern, a former investment banker,
graduate engineer, and long-time design enthusiast. Services
offered include interior design, full-scale renovations, and
project and budget management.
Prior to launching McGovern Project, Chris cultivated his long-time
interest in design and architecture through his own real estate
investments and renovations. McGovern Project's work can be seen
throughout the NYC Tri-State area, Denver and LA.
Helen joined Chris in 2020 and brings a background in architecture,
engineering, and fashion. Earlier in her professional career, she
wore a business hat and financed affordable housing and
infrastructure in emerging markets. Although she had always worked
with a multidisciplinary team of urban planners, architects, and
craftsmen, she discovered her love for “holding the pencil,” went
back to school, and switched hats to the design side.
