About Us

Design Trade operated as a closed design studio in the South Hills for 8 years. In January of 2009 Cynthia Rosky became sole owner of the business and began a search for a more central location and a new business partner. 

The move from the South Hills was more than a physical relocation of the business.   Cynthia’s new partnership with Cathy Brozack changed the operation from the closed studio setup to a full service designer showroom. 

Together, Cynthia and Cathy have combined their 38 years of experience and knowledge with each partner bringing a different perspective to the new business structure of Design Trade.

Cynthia has been working in the residential interior design field since 1985 and is an Allied Member of ASID.  Her design experience gives her the ability to understand the needs and concerns of the designers because she has experienced first hand many of the same situations they face in the phases their projects go through from conception to completion.

Cathy’s 14 years of experience with Marforth sets her apart from anyone in the Pittsburgh area.  Her knowledge of the product lines and their intricacies allow her to guide designers to the perfect selections based on style, construction, finish and sizing.  Cathy’s long term relationship with vendors and their representatives facilitates the resolution of any problems or issues that might arise. 

Design Trade now operates as a “to the trade” resource showroom for tri-state area design professionals.
