Karen Daroff

Class of: 1970

Major: Interior Design

Currently works: Daroff Design, Inc.

I am extremely committed to design excellence. I founded Daroff Design Inc. in 1973 and have led my firm to national and international prominence with offices in Philadelphia and Shanghai. My expertise lies in designing highly creative and cost-effective corporate, hospitality, entertainment and aviation environments. I’ve worked with clients such as Disney, Universal Studios, Revlon, Comcast and Jet Blue.

I’ve been an invited guest speaker for the Harvard University Graduate School of Architecture’s special lecture series, Philadelphia University’s Architecture and Design Series and have presented keynote addresses for several national conventions for interior designers including: NEOCON in Chicago and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. I have received awards for design excellence, including the prestigious Interiors Magazine Designer of the Year Award and Platinum Circle Hall of Fame.

Moore was a great help to me when I was starting out, and I’m happy to do what I can to give back. I’ve served as a board member not only at Moore, but also the University of the Arts, the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and the Philadelphia Art Commission.
