I’ve been a fan of Sarah Flint shoes for years: her pieces are beautiful, well-made, and built for walking. Recently, I met Sarah at a Boston pop-up on Newbury Street and she’s smart, warm, and full of creative energy. A local talent from Lincoln, Massachusetts, she studied at FIT in New York and did intensive ‘shoe’ training in Italy. Her mission is clear: make beautiful shoes that are actually comfortable.

This post is a little shout-out to some of the people we love in the New England interior design industry. We’re starting with our friend and colleague, Ellisha Alexina—a talented New England fabric designer whose work we’ve admired for years. A Massachusetts native, her designs come to life in Boston, and her textiles are made in Western Massachusetts. We love local.

Room & Board recently featured our work on their blog, linked here; we’re super happy with the write-up and the recognition. Their products blend quality craftsmanship with timeless design, making them a natural fit for our projects. Based in Minnesota, they source from skilled artisans across the country—including some right here in New England.
