Phoenix Day Designers - The Wiseman Group

Designer Paul Vincent Wiseman was born in the rich delta country of California's Sacramento Valley. His formative years in that agricultural community fostered an uncommon sensibility and grounding, but he has always marched to the beat of his own drum. By his mid-twenties, his zest for travel had taken him all over Europe and the Far East, and he had lived for extended periods in both France and Australia.

Building on an innate appreciation for history, culture, art, and architecture, this exposure to disparate cultures and their decorative arts left a deep impression on the young Mr. Wiseman. He resolved to return to San Francisco and make his way in the design world. He founded his interior design business in 1980, never losing track of what those early experiences taught him: to be truthful to what is authentic and eschew forcing elements that simply do not fit the "story" of a property.

Nearly thirty-six years later, The Wiseman Group has achieved a reputation for creating luxurious interior design of world-class quality. He and his ace team, lead by design principals James Hunter, Brenda Mickel, and Mauricio Munoz, as well as CEO Kevin Peters, have received numerous prestigious awards, including Architectural Digest's 100 Best Designers list (multiple years), Veranda's Art of Design Award (2010), and the Julia Morgan Award (2014), given by the Institute for Classical Architecture & Art for excellence in classical design.
