Stepping into someone’s workspace offers a glimpse into how they think. From a quiet corner of a bedroom to a dedicated studio, our Where I Work series tours the rooms where creative people actually create—so you can borrow a few ideas for your own on-the-clock style.
Role: Head of Creative Studio and Brand at Domino
Where I work: A home office in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
How I start my workday: Before jumping straight into a screen, I carve out one ritual that grounds me for the day. Some mornings that means walking the dog, others it’s a yoga flow or piano practice or reading a section of the New York Times over breakfast. It’s a small way to create separation between yesterday and today. Once that’s done, I pour a cup of coffee, queue up NPR’s Up First, and sketch out my priorities. Mornings are when my creativity peaks, so I protect that window for focused work before meetings begin.
How I transition out of work: When the day wraps, I reset the office and rewrite tomorrow’s to-do list. Starting fresh in the morning is so much easier that way. Then I shower and change clothes—a working-from-home ritual I’ve held onto because washing the day away feels genuinely therapeutic. I also light a scent; lately I’m devoted to Armenia Papers and just about every candle Flamingo Estate makes.
Three words for my space: moody, romantic, pink.
The most important thing in my office: My little shadow, Gemma. She’s my pup, who refused to pose for the camera during this shoot (the equipment spooks her), but she sticks by my side all day long. The best coworker I’ve ever had.
What’s on the walls: Quite literally, Farrow & Ball’s Sulking Room Pink. I drenched the entire room in the shade—trim, ceiling, windowsills, built-in shelving, and even a planter got the treatment. It feels cavernous in the most soothing way, and I love watching the color shift as the light moves through the day.
Current creative fuel: I collect art books, but if they’re out of sight they’re out of mind, so I built gallery shelves to display the books, art, and objects inspiring me in any given week. It’s a rotating library—I can pull anything off the shelves in 15 seconds, flip through, and restyle whenever the mood strikes.
What I turn to when I’m stuck: The outdoors is the best cure for stagnation I know. When I hit a wall, it usually means I’ve been staring at a screen for too long without letting my eyes rest on anything further away. A quick walk out to the garden—watching the colors shift and the plants grow—pulls me out of my head and back into my body.
How I stay organized: Everything has a home. I traveled constantly for work years ago and learned that if you return an object to its spot every single time, you stop losing things. I’m also a sucker for a tray or small vessel to corral similar items and make cleaning up a breeze.
Favorite pen: I buy Pilot Precise V7 fine rolling ball black pens in bulk from my neighborhood art supply shop. They’re inexpensive, and I love the way the ink flows without bleeding through the page.
Best notebook: I don’t want my notebook adding stress, so I gravitate to the simplicity of Midori MD notebooks and the way they’re constructed. I started hand-painting my notebook covers a while back, and these make a perfect blank canvas. I also keep Strathmore 11-by-14-inch sketch pads on hand to brainstorm bigger projects and photo or video shoots. Having a large expanse of paper lets me go wide and messy with ideas before refining.
Technology I can’t live without: The Setago Touch Lamp casts the loveliest glow across three brightness levels. It’s perfect for wrapping up a few tasks at night when overhead lighting feels too harsh on the eyes.
Desk chair that I could (and do) spend hours in: I scored a vintage Knoll Executive chair on Craigslist and had it reupholstered at Olek Restoration using HBF Textile’s Flirt fabric. The citron color pops beautifully against the dusty pink walls. The fabric is nubby—a blend of linen, cotton, bamboo, and wool—so it’s soft and cozy, too.
How I fight the 3 p.m. slump: I take a few minutes to stand and stretch, light a stick of palo santo, and look at personal mementos—photos of people I love and colorful inspiration pinned to my mood board can work wonders.
Ideal office snack: There’s a strong chance I’m at least 25 percent Bjorn Qorn popcorn and Gerolsteiner mineral water at this point.
Preferred soundtrack: On set, Moby’s Play & Play: B Sides is always playing for its calm, steady energy. When I’m working from home and need to find a groove, I switch to piano—lots of Philip Glass, so I’m not tempted to sing along.
