Ten years ago, Ray Chen set out to solve a simple frustration: finding the perfect answer for those frustrated with complicated window-covering solutions. What began as a personal quest to make home design easier has grown into TWOPAGES<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 a global brand known for blending creativity, technology, and modern convenience.<\/p>\n What Chen could not yet know was that this pursuit of simplicity would kick off a decade-long journey that stretched far beyond windows. It would draw in designers from across continents, ambassadors who believed in beauty as connection, and a community of creators bonded not by geography but by a shared desire to design with care. TWOPAGES would become a space where creativity became communal.<\/p>\n TWOPAGES’ Founder Ray Chen<\/p><\/div>\n The 10th anniversary \u201cTWOPAGES TOGETHER\u201d event in Los Angeles felt less like a corporate milestone and more like a homecoming. Over 100 designers, creators, partners, and friends gathered under one roof \u2013 many meeting in person for the first time after years of digital collaboration.<\/p>\n Ray began the day not with a sentiment that set the emotional tone: \u201cOnly by listening can we innovate. Only by understanding can we truly serve.\u201d TWOPAGES’ founder Ray Chen<\/p><\/div>\n At the heart of the celebration was the TWOPAGES TOGETHER x Design Contest, a five-month journey that invited designers worldwide to explore new expressions of window aesthetics. Hundreds participated. Six were chosen as finalists. And these winners represented the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom: Sabrina Ramkhelawan (first place); Kim Morrow and Rebecca Hughes (second place); Jyll Mackie, Kate Frost, and Leah Berin (third place); and Kim Morrow (people\u2019s choice award.) Each design, in its own way, mirrored TWOPAGES\u2019 dual essence \u2013 craftsmanship on one page, innovation on the other. Together, they became the emotional core of the anniversary \u2013 representing not competition, but collective creativity. Their work was chosen because it conveyed emotion, perspective, and personal stories woven into fabric and form.<\/p>\n One designer later shared that when she returned home after the event, her family had redecorated their living room to celebrate her achievement. \u201cThat\u2019s when it hit me,\u201d she said. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t just a contest. This was a moment for all of us \u2013 my family, my community, everyone who supported me.\u201d<\/p>\n TWOPAGES TOGETHER x Design Contest Jury<\/p><\/div>\n The judging panel brought together four respected design leaders \u2013 Bonnie Christine, Hema Persad, Jennifer Farrell, and Lauren Jansen \u2013 each with their own creative language and lens. Their presence elevated the contest into a cross-disciplinary dialogue about what beauty can mean today. But they didn\u2019t simply evaluate work; they mentored, encouraged, and connected.<\/p>\n They asked questions that pushed designers to articulate not just what they made, but why. Their participation underscored a shared understanding: design is not an isolated act \u2013 it\u2019s a conversation, and TWOPAGES had created the room for that conversation to thrive.<\/p>\n Ambassadors Sara Le, Britt Bengoechea, Amy Switzer, and Amy Courtney<\/p><\/div>\n Ambassadors \u2013 Sara Le, Britt Bengoechea, Amy Switzer, and Amy Courtney \u2013 added another emotional layer. They shared how TWOPAGES impacted their own creative journeys, their personal homes, and, often, their communities. Their presence felt like a bridge connecting the brand\u2019s early supporters with its future storytellers.<\/p>\n What makes TWOPAGES unique is not solely its products \u2013 the measurement tools, menu-style customization, and precise craftsmanship \u2013 it\u2019s how the company\u2019s design process gives permission for people to slow down, to soften, and to return to something familiar.<\/p>\n TWOPAGES TOGETHER x Design Contest Awards<\/p><\/div>\n So TWOPAGES exists today not as a curtain brand, but as a cultural one. A company that believes beauty is most powerful when shared. And a team that measures success not just in orders or visibility \u2013 though its recent national billboard ads, including Times Square and Los Angeles, mark an unforgettable milestone \u2013 but in the strength of the community that has formed around it.<\/p>\n The brand\u2019s decade-long journey, from online start-up to global community, is grounded in this simple but deeply human promise. And so TWOPAGES stands today not as a curtain brand, but as a unique cultural one. A brand that believes beauty is most powerful when shared. A brand that measures success not just in orders or visibility but in the strength of the community that has formed around it.<\/p>\n Chen\u2019s mission has always been clear: \u201cOur dream is to use technology to save people time \u2013 and then help them invest that saved time into what truly matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/a>
\nIt was a reminder that TWOPAGES has always been a brand shaped by the warmth of human stories, small exchanges, shared inspiration, and the quiet pride of seeing a community built one relationship at a time.<\/p>\n
