MCstudios is a custom fabrication and design consulting company based in the Western Catskills and serving the greater New York City area. The shop was established in 2019 by Eugene Cunningham, following a 10-year stint as Art Director at Square Design Inc, a Brooklyn-based design/fabrication shop. In that role, Eugene designed and built sets, stores, activation spaces, and interactive event experiences for clients ranging from top fashion houses to large brands to individual artists, taking ideas from sketch to full fruition. Previously, he built custom furniture with Evanson Studios, apprenticed with sculptor Howard Kalish in mold making and toy building, and built houses in Maine and North Carolina.
Eugene completed a BFA in Sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design and took classes at the Bridgeview School of Fine Arts in Queens, New York. Through his multidisciplinary approach, Eugene brings an eye for detail, extensive knowledge of materials, creative intention, and inventive problem solving to every project, whether it be fine woodworking, bronze portraiture, a twenty-foot gnome statue, a 5,000 sq. ft. pop-up fashion event, or a Catskills store.
