My hometown is…
NYC!
My favorite process in the UncommonGoods warehouse is…
Sample Sale! Samples that our merchandising team decides not to include in our assortment are given very discounted prices and sold to our employees. They are all one of a kind and can not be found anywhere. I handle the storage, organization, and then set up of the actual sale event that we have every few months.
I’m inspired by…
Tastefully designed products, e.g., iPhone 5, Herman Miller, and things I build myself.
The best gift anyone has given me was…
Life. (Thanks Mom & Dad!)
An uncommon fact about me…
I lived in Africa, Europe, and the Bahamas before I turned 12.
When I’m not working, I’m probably…
Building computers, Legos, or models.
The word that best describes me…
Original!
Working at UncommonGoods, I’ve learned…
The Verrazano toll really adds up…
With a pile of stuff in front of me I would build…
(You’re given glitter glue, 3 wood blocks, a yard of fabric, a spool of string, and a cardboard box filled with wire hangers.)
I would unwind all the wire hangers and then use them to make a giant wire ball. Then I would glue the blocks together. I would then use the fabric to create a parachute for the blocks using the string to tie the ends around the blocks. Then I would tie points of the parachute to the top of the ball. Using more string I could suspend the entire wire ball in the air, with blocks suspended from the fabric, which hangs from the top of the ball! Yay!
