&Ende was started by Nate van der Ende in 2022 when his best friend asked him to design his new apartment in the lower east side. What began as a request for help buying furniture and choosing paint colors quickly sparked a full-scale renovation, a new-found passion in van der Ende and the launch of his studio.

Nate has since finished multiple residential and commercial projects in New York City, was featured in architectural digest for his work on the Lower East Side project and opened an office in Toronto to expand his firm.
