Transcript
This is Jordan. Jordan is one of my best friends in New York, and he's the definition of a daydreamer. Ever since he was a kid, Jordan was obsessed with stories. He loved fantasy books, action movies, and pretty much anything magical. The problem is that he would spend hours daydreaming about being an adult and being able to live these fantastical tier. But as he grew up, he started to realize that adulthood wasn't as fun as he thought it would be. So Jordan took matters into his own hands. Why work on the normal desk when you can build a slice of a plane in the corner of your studio because you worse much better in planes? Or why decorate your studio with a random painting when you can build an eight foot map of New York with tiny little lights that mark the places from your favorite movies? Or why have a normal light when you can have a circle light and a circle mirror and a circle window and a circle tool storage system because tools help you make your ideas a reality and they must always point towards the idea. And why have a bad good pencil case when you can have a happy home for all your pencils? Jordan, thank you for always reminding me that life is magical.
