Have any design professionals worked on this space? No

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

My live/work art studio is the coolest small space because I transformed what used to be a dark, outdated office space into a bright and airy art studio. I was heartbroken moving from NYC during the Coronavirus pandemic but needed to expand my space for my art career, so I did my best to capture the essence of what my dream home in NYC would look like. To wake up and be able to paint in this space is truly a dream!

How does your home reflect you?

My home perfectly reflects me more than any other space I've lived because I was able to work with my landlord to truly customize the space. I chose where the kitchenette went, the polished concrete floors, and a large open closet system in my bedroom to avoid putting any unnecessary walls up. I am surrounded by my art, which is really magical, my favorite piece being a portrait of my mom.
