Jeff Long
Steelcase
Over the years while working for myself I have had the opportunity to work with so many talented people! One of my favorite shops to contract in was the Steelcase Model shop, where I now work full time!
​
The Model shop team is exceptional and is made up of a diverse mix of talent, skills and experiences.
​
I am excited and thankful to have the opportunity to participate not only as a Model maker but contribute my environmental passions, volunteering desires and of course they tolerate my need for humor/nonsense.
Working somewhere that not only invests in beautiful art work but then surrounds us with it is a plus! This is a Chihoulie sculpture in our courtyard off of our cafeteria
Working with our interior designer I took the design and helped to evolve it into what you see here.
All parts were custom painted
