Desk Job: Or Gotham
A desk can tell you a lot about a person, and these are the stories of our favorites. (Desks, that is. And also people.)
Or Gotham, Illustrator
Sketches
“A big focus of the past week has been playing with new illustration styles. I’m constantly experimenting with quick sketches and doodles to flesh out a style that feels ‘Warby Parker.'”
Drive Into the Sun book
“I go to a comic book shop near Union Square every week to pick up comics. I found this book and felt super inspired by artist Matt Sundstrom’s use of brush pen work.”
Plant
“It was a gift from a friend for my birthday. I’m at my desk more than I’m at home and thought the plant had a better chance of living if I kept it here. I named him ‘Pear.'”
Campfire light
“It’s actually a night-light. Pulling a cue from our copywriter’s Interrupting Fez, I figured I could turn it on when I’m super busy, so people know when I’m in the zone.”
Tree pen
“In theory, it would be virtually impossible to misplace.”
