Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

Hi! I’m Jason — a graphic designer turned user interface designer, turned chief product officer, turned user interface designer (again).

After 20 years commuting to New York City, I now work full-time from home, building a startup I co-founded. And it’s great.

I also collect... a lot.

In my office, you’ll find no shortage of original art, art prints, and comic books.

When the pandemic hit and our shared office space in NYC closed for good, I took the opportunity to design my home office as both a functional workspace and a gallery of sorts.

These are the things that inspire my creativity, so it only made sense to surround myself with them.

I share this house with my amazing girlfriend — and until just last week, our dog Tobias, who sadly passed away suddenly.

I’m still adjusting to not seeing him asleep in the big leather chair behind my desk.

Take us through your setup

I had so much art I wanted to display, but the idea of constantly hanging and rehanging frames sounded like a nightmare.

So I came up with a better solution — a custom wainscoting that doubles as a shelf, letting me reshuffle my decor whenever the mood strikes.
