Special Thanks
The following people turned my dream of designing a simple chair into a reality that has surpassed my wildest imagination. Because of you, my life, and the lives of thousands of others will be forever transformed.
Thank you.
Emily Katz - Collaborator and Magician
After a little convincing, the queen of Modern Macrame said, "Let's play!" Since then, we haven't stopped designing, traveling, exploring, and creating new horizons for our businesses and our lives. She's the extra sparkle in our magic swirl.
E Marley - The First Yes
E took a few conversations, a mashup of inspiration images, and a bit of intuition and rendered the first-ever images of JAC. What had only existed in my mind suddenly - sort of - existed in the world. To see more of her design work visit ElizabethMarley.com
Molly Ochoa - Gold Painted Siren
Imagine a giant heart with gold booty shorts that pumps turquoise paint to the rhythm of house music, all while tending the soulful garden of growing hearts around her. She connected me to the fabulous creatives Lindsey Bolling and Laney D'Aquino who turned JAC into a star.
Jeff Steinmetz - The Closer
Six hours and flowers. That's it. And that was everything. He is the multi-tool's, multi-tool. Should you need assistance with anything from developing software and managing a tech start-up to creative direction for a photoshoot, Jeff is your man and Urge Productions is your go-to spot.
Mustafa Turan - Light Holder
From the beginning, every conversation I've had with Mustafa has breathed new life and hope into the project. He has quelled my doubts, fanned my curiosity, and emboldened my hope, all while keeping me grounded and supported in this new reality. His latest project TACT Agora speaks for itself.
Additional gratitude goes to my advisors, mentors, and friends. Thank you for getting curious with me, calling me out, pushing me further, and surrounding me with love: Arin Fishkin, Ed Blazona, David McConville, David Fulton, Eden Brukman, Danny Kim, Lynell Green, Weihaur Lau, Marnee Benson, George Orbelian, Amanda Ravenhill, Ilana Lipset, Erin Graves, Wally Bomgaars, Eric DeFeo, Jay Standish, and many, many more...
