About apt. 1617, 481 8th ave, NY 10001
Dear visitor,
Welcome to apt 1617.
While interning over the Summer of 2009 in New York City, I lived at 481 8th Ave in apartment 1617.
No... it does not face the Empire State Building, but instead a crumbling brick wall. So I decided to take
abit of artistic liberty and make a rendering of how1617 would have looked like in my dreams. I invite you to
poke around the room and see my creative space and what inspires me. Take a look at the Post-it notes,
or click on the Mac or Ipod. Explore and find interesting things for yourself.
New York is an incredibly difficult city. It was brutal on me. It is the ultimate extremes of sheer capitalism and
poverty. It is exciting but intense, and the city thrives on those who are able to stay at the top of their game.
To me, New York is a symbol of those who have suceeded in what they do, by the very fact that they are able
to have a job that pays the rent. Everyone is a winner in their own right. The tenacity of the citizens of the city
have inspired me greatly to always question what I do, be true to myself, go deep, and push the bounderies of
what is close to my heart. Most importantly, never give up!
