In a few sentences, tell us about your workspace at Industry City.

What’s one project you’re currently working on?
Preparing to present a few collections at the Architectural Design show towards the end of March.
What’s one particularly valuable skill for the work you do?
Patience.
Tell us about one other Industry City tenant or Brooklyn-based business/creative/maker/entrepreneur we should know.
Fourth Wheel / Dave Kim for obvious reasons (next door neighbor and ceramic artist).
Tell us about something that’s been inspiring you lately.
Art by Nicolas Party and Jean Arp.
Favorite spot at Industry City that’s not your office/personal space?
What do you want your business/world to look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I’d like to have several collections of homegoods on my own e-shop and in a brick and mortar store.
