\"Jamie<\/a><\/p>\n

Jamie Hoffman, UncommonGoods Senior Buyer \u2013 Home D\u00e9cor<\/em><\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nMiami Beach, Florida<\/p>\n

My favorite product that I\u2019ve brought into the assortment at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nNot live yet!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nThose who support themselves on their art, our UncommonGoods vendors included.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nImagining that I’m Alanis Morissette on stage whenever I sing along to “Jagged Little Pill<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nElephants are my favorite animal. Last year I carved an elephant necklace out of wax and had it cast as a sterling silver pendant. Even more uncommon, jewelry vendor Emilie Shapiro<\/a> taught me how!<\/p>\n

My favorite place to hang out in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nAny riverfront park with a view of the city, preferably if it\u2019s between 75 and 80 degrees. If I have to choose, I go with Brooklyn Bridge Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026<\/strong>
\nPracticing my Spanish.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nThere’s no end to the number of creative, beautiful, problem-solving products being made every day.<\/p>\n

If you could go to dinner with any historical figure or modern-day celebrity who would you choose and where would you go? (And why?)<\/strong>
\nThe former art historian in me wanted to pick something decidedly more highbrow, but the fantasy of getting a slice at Paulie Gee’s<\/a> with Jon Stewart<\/a> made me too giddy to give it up. It\u2019d include a lot of hearty laughter, intellectual banter, and a few impersonations of our respective New Jersey relatives. Plus, Paulie Gee\u2019s pizza is pretty highbrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
