Wolf-Gordon’s Marybeth Shaw Earns Top Wallcoverings Association Honors

A longtime champion of sustainable initiatives and design excellence within the wallcoverings industry, Marybeth Shaw, chief creative officer, design and marketing at Wolf-Gordon, was recently awarded the prestigious Justin P. Allman award. Named after the Wallcoverings Association’s founder, the annual award—announced during the group’s late January meeting—recognizes a leader who has transformed the industry for the better, as exemplified by Shaw.

From creating concept-driven brands, products, and environments to green building design, Shaw continues to inspire and innovate. She also advises the Wallcoverings Association board, currently serving as co-chair of the Technical Committee, where she is exploring recyclability initiatives. But her dedication to sustainable design has been decades in the making. Earlier in her career, Shaw founded her own design studio, Shaw-Jelveh Design, where she executed projects for the U.S. Green Building Council, paving a path for a more eco-conscious future.

“The wallcoverings industry continues to be inspired by the leadership of Marybeth Shaw, a force driving innovation, design, sustainability, and excellence,” states Sarah Tiwana, executive director at the Wallcoverings Association. “Marybeth’s commitment to advancing the industry is truly admirable and widely appreciated.”
