Design NJ presents NJ Creators, a new, web-exclusive series about New Jersey business owners who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
They’re the artisans who make home décor products; the originators who produce something from nothing; the stewards of age-old craftsmanship. Here at Design NJ, we’ve been privileged to observe up close both the crafters at work and the one-of-a-kind results of their labors. In each installment, we’re taking you behind the curtain and into the workroom; join us as we witness the power of the Creators.
