“When you give physical space to human beings, they act differently. If you gave them a small piece of paper and say, ‘come up with a big idea,’ do you really think they’re going to come up with a big idea?”

INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE

“So many apartments in NYC have dead doors, and people are conflicted over what to do with them. This particular one is a closet door that I turned into a dry-erase board. I designed a doorknob cover that allows access when needed, but serves as a dry-erase-marker holder. I took full advantage of its size and placement and, with IdeaPaint’s Clear dry-erase paint, am now able to use the door in a new way.”
