Kevonian added, “I can't wait for what our future holds as we head off next week to introduce Shauna to our overseas supply chain. Since Shauna joined us last month our design team has been hard at work getting her onboarded and reviewing our best selling products as we refine what collections will launch this fall.”

Snyder’s consistency throughout her career has resulted in the expansion of her considerable skill set brought about through decades of experience working well known and prestigious brands such as Markor International Furnishings, Furniture First, Rizzy Home, Surya, and Storehouse to name a few, and has led to her spearheading the development of thousands of new SKUs, demonstrating her exceptional proficiency in product design and development.

Style leaders in design, Armen Living celebrates bold individuality, vibrant youthfulness, sensual refinement, and expert craftsmanship at fiscally sensible prices. Continuing a 40-year legacy, Armen Living’s strategic product development approach has gained momentum over the last three years, as they shifted away from buying off-the-rack pieces to designing most of their collections in-house. This shift has further helped their brand to diversify and elevate their company’s outdoor category - which now equates to 70% original designs and has led to their brand winning several product design awards, as well as becoming a leader in fashionable and affordable furniture for retailers, designers, and hospitality clients all across the country.

Kevonian commented, “Each piece we design and develop conveys self-expression while resonating with a contemporary chic lifestyle. Our new 2024-2025 collections will elevate the look of indoor and outdoor spaces with a wide selection of unique and modern styles that touch across all our product categories.”
