Since I am not working in NY right now I thought it would be fun to share my workstation here in Seattle. It’s actually a corner in our bedroom which itself feels like a tree house. It’s such a different environment from our NY office (which we will share sometime soon, we just have to photograph it) and at first the transition was hard but my view of the bay is amazing and it’s a great visual contrast to the computer and all the editing done on there. Most of our time nowadays is spent working with our images so it’s nice to have an environment once in a while that is not very technical. When I am not in NYC , Annabel and I work together via “skype” and we always joke that the only thing we can’t upload is our lunch. It’s a treat to be both in crazy NY and mellow Seattle.

The photos at my desk are a mix of old family portraits and other little trinkets that make me happy.

ed. note: If you’re interested in showing off where YOU work, drop me an email!

Ah, how I dream for an office of my own just like Alisons!

Name: Alison Hotchkiss & Kelsey Sheofsky

Location: San Francisco, CA

Company: Alison Events, LLC

Our Aesthetic: Clean, modern shapes, personalized details, bright colors

How we convey our aesthetic through our studio style: We keep our studio as organized as possible so we don’t get totally overwhelmed. We keep inspiration boards by our desks to add interesting images and ideas we come up with during the week. It’s also a good way for us to work through design ideas for our clients.

Favorite part of our studio: Big open windows that look out to our lovely neighborhood, bumpin sound system, loads of storage for all our design books, inspiring photographs on the walls.

Where we go for inspiration: Art and photo shows, flea market, traveling to different countries, dining out, architecture and design books, having lots of friends that are designers and photographers

What tool do we use that we can’t live without: When we are traveling…iphone, flash drive, travel printer, gossip mags and travel and leisure. When we are in the studio…our 4,000 vendor database and 1000 photo venue database, fabric swatches, french press and peets coffee

Anything we’d like to upgrade to: laser printer, espresso maker, someone to cook lunch for us everyday?
