EUGENE BORODAN | Stained Glass Craftsman, Woodworker, Jack of ALL
Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, Eugene's love for stained glass was sparked at an early age during visits to churches with his grandmother. He was captivated by the way light streaming through the colorful glass could transform a space, leaving a lasting impression on him.
At just 10 years old, Eugene immigrated to Brooklyn, NY, where he grew up exploring the vibrant city, its museums, churches, and creative spaces. His curiosity led him to many artistic pursuits, including photography. It was this hobby that introduced him to woodworking, as he began crafting custom frames for his photos. This skill soon evolved into building custom furniture—bookcases, tables, bed frames, and more—fueling his passion for design and craftsmanship.
In the early 2000s, Eugene took a bold step, leaving a management role to pursue his dream of mastering stained glass. Over 20 years later, he continues to craft stunning large-scale glass installations for homes, businesses, temples, and churches.
Dedicated to his craft, Eugene approaches every project with precision and care, striving for perfection to bring his clients’ visions to life.
CAROL BORODAN | Stained Glass Artist, Graphic Designer, Creative Director, Jill of ALL
Born in Richmond, KY, Carol has been creative for as long as she can remember—always drawing, crafting, and transforming her surroundings into magical spaces through art and design. Her love for collage, book design, typography, and her keen attention to detail led her to pursue a BFA in Graphic Design at the University of Georgia.
In 2007, driven by ambition and a love for design, Carol packed her car to the brim and made the 14-hour drive to New York City to chase her dreams. Over the past 16+ years, she has built an impressive career as a graphic designer, art director, and creative director, working with both brands and agencies.
In 2016, when Carol met Eugene, he introduced her to Tiffany-style stained glass. It was a turning point. Captivated by how stained glass transforms light and color into living art, Carol found a new passion. This medium combined her love for design with her desire for hands-on artistry and craftsmanship.
Today, Carol is endlessly inspired by the beauty of stained glass—its ability to brighten spaces and tell stories. For her, every day is an opportunity to create, explore, and bring her artistic vision to life.
