Heather Thompson, UncommonGoods Senior Product Manager<\/center><\/p>\n

My hometown is…<\/strong>
\nEden Prairie, MN (Go Eagles!)<\/p>\n

My favorite product that has entered the assortment at UncommonGoods in my time in merchandising here is…<\/strong>
\nThe Rose Quartz Platter<\/a> followed closely by the Druzy Chevron Necklace<\/a>\u00a0(clearly I have a thing for pink!). Oh, and the Salt Tequila Glasses<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by…<\/strong>
\nPINTEREST! In all seriousness, I love the internet! I could wax poetic about the democracy and immediacy of information \u2013 the ease of communication and infinite connections – the endless opportunities the World Wide Web presents, but also I just love getting lost in beautiful images.\u00a0Plus New York City, the great outdoors and my smart\/talented\/creative\/funny friends!<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is…<\/strong>
\nGummy bears and Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me…<\/strong>
\nI played the alto saxophone for 12 years. And killed it, PS! *kidding<\/em><\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is…<\/strong>
\nBuvette<\/a> in the West Village.<\/p>\n

My style is…<\/strong>
\nYikes! This one is tough. I think my style is a study of opposites \u2013 I love anything overtly masculine [read: tuxedo jackets and oversized, worn leather couches] mixed with ultra-feminine accents [read: tulle skirts and Louis XIV furniture]. I\u2019m also a sucker for anything whimsical or quirky.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned…<\/strong>
\nThe value of being an independent and creative thinker. Our company culture values individuality and finding creative solutions while working on collaborative, frank, super fun, imaginative and supportive teams.<\/p>\n

Would you rather… have an unlimited amount of shoes OR an unlimited supply of cupcakes?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s a toughie but I\u2019m going with shoes. I like cupcakes, I do. But they are so fleeting. Shoes are forever (or at least a season).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
