She loves books (including comics), sketch comedy, and sci-fi. She&#8217;s inspired by art and science. As a former Minnesotan, she longs for an afternoon on a lake, Grain Belt in hand. The New Yorker in her is happy spending that afternoon at the American Museum of Natural History instead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aboutus-jess-1.jpg\" alt=\"aboutus-jess\" width=\"524\" height=\"194\" \/><br \/>\nJessica, a recent resident of\u00a0Rhode Island, has been in the graphic design world for over a decade. \u00a0She has a penchant for vegan sweets, vintage shops and public radio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aboutus-eric.jpg\" alt=\"aboutus-eric\" width=\"510\" height=\"194\" \/><br \/>\nEric is a copywriter for UncommonGoods. He knows just enough about art history to be dangerous. He has delivered furniture in the Adirondacks, played Dixieland trombone in Bulgaria, and researched Frank Lloyd Wright in Buffalo. He likes neither pi\u00f1a coladas nor getting caught in the rain, but loves craft beer and bicycles. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, son, and a small menagerie of animals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/aboutus-jen-1.jpg\" alt=\"aboutus-jen\" width=\"425\" height=\"194\" \/><br \/>\nJen is a PR &amp; Social Media Associate at UncommonGoods. She believes that the perfect day begins with a cappuccino and ends with red wine. She admits that she possesses an inner Recyclops. She likes to think that her friends compare her to Liz Lemon because of her quirky sense of humor, rather than the first 30 Rock episode where Liz buys $150 worth of hot dogs to spite a man who cut her in line. Her favorite uncommon goods are anything made by Fernanda Sibilia or Emilie Shapiro.
