 Hi, Maxwell Ryan here from Apartment Therapy. Today I'm visiting Rebecca Atwood in Brooklyn. Let's see what she's up to. Good morning Rebecca. Good morning. So what do you make? I make fabrics for the home and then products with those fabrics. Pillows. Pillows primarily. We make some small accessories and then we're also going into wallpaper. Wallpaper. Yeah, it's exciting. Have you ever made anything that's just awful? Oh, totally. All the time. I think that I used to be afraid to make things that were awful and now I had like to give myself the freedom to make things that aren't good because I edit them out and otherwise I might never find anything new. Where do you find your inspiration? I find my inspiration really all over the place primarily from my childhood growing up on Cape Cod. Walking around Brooklyn and just seeing like the weird intersections of things here. It might be a shadow on sidewalk or you know a color that I'm seeing. Do you have time to draw every day? I don't but I'm trying to. So this was a big board of pictures and photographs and designs and then you edited it all the way down and then and then when you get that move forward what happens next? Yes, so then we're really working on the patterns and that's for me where it all like all the it really starts and then I manipulate it on the computer turn it into a repeat so we can then have it printed and it either gets screen printed or digitally printed. I actually like to work on about four sketchbooks at once so that while the paint's drying I can keep moving. So it looks like we're now in the showroom. Yes, this is our mini showroom of sorts. It's kind of where we merchandise things and start to see how it all looks together. Did you go to school for this? Sort of. I went to school for painting at Rhode Island School of Design. I realized when I was graduating that textiles was probably the closest thing I could do to painting every day for a job so I actually started off at Anthropology in their home design team. How did you know you were ready to launch your own business? I don't think I actually knew that I was ready to launch but it was sort of like what am I going to do next? I needed that next thing. There wasn't a design director role at a company I wanted to work for so I was like I'm going to consult and I'm going to do this and that was the safety next. Who should we visit next? That's really hard but I think that one person I would say is Lindsay Emery of Sweet One Studio. She is a ceramicist in South Carolina I believe. Terrific. Well thank you so much. So great to visit with you. We're going to let you get back to work right now but we can't wait to see what happens next. Okay, thanks for coming.
