About

Bergen Studio is an interior design studio founded by me, Samantha Juda, based in Montclair, New Jersey.

Before starting Bergen Studio, I spent more than 15 years living in Manhattan and Brooklyn and building a career leading product teams at technology companies. Throughout that time, design remained a constant thread, whether I was furnishing my own home, sourcing vintage finds, studying the work of designers I admired, or helping friends shape spaces that felt uniquely theirs.

After a decade of working at  Etsy⁠, where I developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, creativity, and small businesses, I decided to pursue my passion full time.

I believe our homes should feel deeply personal, filled with pieces that carry meaning, memory, and a sense of connection. The spaces I love most are layered and lived-in, combining old and new, collected artwork, vintage finds, and pieces crafted by independent makers.

Rooted in warmth and thoughtful living, I aim to create spaces that feel collected, personal, and quietly elevated.
