A suburban cafe's request for a simple rebrand sparked Shany Kaufman's unexpected journey. When stepping into their space to align brand with interiors, the lackluster interior gave pause. Despite initial reservations, Shany chose to take the plunge and go beyond her twelve years of branding expertise. That leap of faith into unknown creative waters – a first interior design project – ignited an unforeseen passion. Now, twelve years later, that single 'yes' has flourished into ICO Design Group, a thriving architectural interior & branding design firm, where each project writes a new chapter in our story of innovation and growth.

As a visionary founder, Shany uniquely merges over 20 years of branding and interior design expertise into a holistic creative vision.
