Atelier Collective Design - (lucky) 13 spaces in a virtual warehouse

Has it been a week already? By Dominique Kurzawa

We've been working hard at getting our information "out there" - into the virtual space. Our Facebook fan page is growing faster than our supply of fuel, true... but it's only been 6 days.

We have gotten numerous emails and calls regarding our project. Thanks to everyone showing interest! Within the next few weeks, we will be sharing more of the business side of Atelier. You are all wondering how it's going to work and who will be involved. Rest assure, we will tell you.

This week I have been thrilled to share my New York with three wonderful friends, visiting from Sweden. Coincidently, my good old friend came along with his film-making equipment, and an idea that surely surprised me. Stay tuned to our Facebook page the upcoming few weeks, as we will reveal Q's & A's, and post new pictures of work.

The Facebook page is looking good. I'm looking forward to learning more about your business.
