A Personal Post: Reflecting on the Pop-up Store
Pop-up store for the Third Sunday Market, which started in June for a four month run came to an conclusion for this year. Regardless of wether you purchased the straps or wallets or not, thank you for your interest. If you have purchased my items, thank you very much for the support and please contact me should you have any questions.
It was a great opportunity where I met exciting new people, and a great chance to directly interact with people who were interested in the design items.
I work day-to-day in an Architecture office. In the office and work, most of the people I interface are people in the field or related field of Architecture or design. I also went to a college where Architecture was the only field of study. While that experience and focused background has rooted me in proficiency and expertise in the field, I rarely get to meet people outside of my field, due to the nature of the business. Therefore, I especially value the interactions I had with all of you who were curious about the design here at kentique. I wish to feed this valuable experience back to continue to innovate the design products and the experience in the future.
It is one thing to be able to open a venue to introduce the design, but I was especially honored to be able to do so at the store I had deep admiration for, for the philosophy behind the store. Thank you for the kind people at Tortoise General Store who offered me this invaluable opportunity.
And definitely not the least, but thank you for the friends who have supported me.
