He traveled in Northern Europe where he was exposed to international style architecture and design. He returned to the United States and worked for his father, who owned a furniture store. His work there inspired his interest in designing retail furniture. He attended the Design Laboratory School in New York from 1936 until the school closed in 1940, where he studied Bauhaus design theory. In 1951 he worked for H.E. Lauffer in 1951.
