As a member of our New York showroom at the 200 Lex Design Center, how do you draw inspiration from the city's dynamic energy to curate an exceptional experience for our clients?
As a fellow New Yorker, I understand that it is a very fast-paced environment. It is important to be a few steps ahead of the client in providing updates on orders, product specifications, presentations and samples.
For those visiting New York, which restaurant would you highly recommend visiting whilst they are in town?
I highly recommend going to Manhattan's The View Restaurant and Lounge. The restaurant is amazing and the food is fantastic. It’s a new American type of food, anyone who’s coming to visit should eat there at least once.

What song/artist do you currently play on repeat when commuting to work?
My go-to track that I play on repeat during my daily commute is definitely Bejeweled by Taylor Swift.
Job title: Client Relationship Associate
How long have you worked for Collier Webb: 4 months
Where do you work: Collier Webb's New York showroom: Suite 511, New York Design Center
Favourite product: Roswell Table Lamp
An average day for me includes assisting clients who are visiting the showroom, providing samples, specification sheets and providing detailed insights on our pieces. As well as an overview of Collier Webb, who we are and what we do, as well as overseeing the maintenance of the showroom, ensuring it is organised and presentable. A large part of my role is liaising with clients on estimates and orders to assist them with finding the right piece for a project, whilst also actively reaching out to build client relationships and drive increased traffic and awareness to our brand.

As we share the showroom with British wallcovering brand, Fromental, can you share with us your favourite wallcovering and lighting combination and why they work so well together?
This would be my favourite wall covering and works perfectly with the Scallop Accent sconces and Scallop Mirror, it shows a very sophisticated and sexy look.
If you could transport any Collier Webb piece to any iconic location in New York City, which piece would it be and where would you place it?
Seeing our Mini Glass Drums at the famous Rao's Restaurant would be incredible. Rao's is one of the most famous and exclusive restaurants in the city. Established in 1896, the iconic red exterior would be perfectly complemented by our Firebrick Red leather-wrapped Mini Glass Drum portable table lamps.
