Taylor Spellman, Founder & President

Taylor Spellman is not afraid of taking chances. “If you are passionate about something, it’s always worth the risk,” she says.

A graduate from Fordham University and now President of the Manhattan-based company, Spellman and her team are serving an exclusive yet untapped market – that of the high-powered bachelor with a less than high-powered apartment. After living in New York for 10 years, Spellman continued to find the same scenario: “No matter the guy’s age or how much money he made, the problem was always the same – that of an apartment in dire need of a discerning eye.”

Spellman began to help rising Wall Streeters, Hedge Fund guys and the occasional lawyer fix up his apartment. Soon thereafter…August Black was born.

Met with great acclaim, August Black has helped men up and down the island of Manhattan at such addresses as 20 Pine, The Ludlow, and the brainchild of Lifestyle guru Amy Sacco’s building; The District.

And now, due to a growing demand August Black has officially launched August Black HOME for women and families.
