ABOUT CRAFT BY ANIKA

Learn more about why and how we INNOVATE. TRANSFORM. EXPERIENCE.

CRAFT by Anika is a New York–based interior design firm built on the belief that a space should do more than look beautiful. It should function well, feel cohesive, and support the people using it every day.
Led by designer Anika Tarasiewicz, the firm has been recognized by the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, with work featured in Homes & Gardens, The Spruce, Redfin, and Staten Island Advance, among others.
At the core of the firm’s work is a clear focus on how a space needs to function before anything decorative is layered in.

Our motto is INNOVATE. TRANSFORM. EXPERIENCE.

Who We Are

CRAFT by Anika is a principal-led interior design firm serving Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and New Jersey.
We work across residential and boutique commercial projects, from focused room transformations to full-scale renovations and new construction. Our role is to bring structure to the process and a clear point of view to every decision being made.
We are not driven by trends or a signature look. Each project is built around the space and the way it needs to function.

How It Started

The firm was founded by Anika Tarasiewicz in 2017 after years of balancing a corporate career, motherhood, and creative work on the side.
What began as a personal creative outlet quickly revealed a larger gap. Many spaces looked finished, but did not actually work. Layouts were off. Selections felt disconnected. Decisions were being made without a full plan in place.
CRAFT by Anika was built to solve that problem.

What We’re Known For

We are often brought into projects where something feels off, unfinished, or unclear. Clients come to us when they are overwhelmed by decisions, unsure how to move forward, or trying to make a space work within real constraints.
Our strength is in seeing the full picture early and bringing direction to the project. The focus is always on layout, scale, cohesion, and making sure every decision supports the overall space.

Why Clients Come To Us

Clients choose CRAFT by Anika because they want more than surface-level design.
They want someone to step in, make sense of it all, and move the project forward without second-guessing every decision. They want to avoid costly missteps and move forward with confidence.
We are closely involved in every stage of the process, ensuring each decision supports the full space so the final result feels cohesive, elevated, and fully resolved.
