Sarah Stenseng, UncommonGoods Senior Product Development Associate<\/center><\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nHarlingen, TX.<\/p>\n

My favorite product that I helped develop is\u2026<\/strong>
\nThe Pancake Plates<\/a> designed by Jon Wye.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nPeople\u2019s behavioral quirks.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nPizza.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nHmm. I\u2019ve broken my left wrist twice.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat (and drink!) in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nThistle Hill Tavern<\/a> in Park Slope, Brooklyn. They have a great veggie burger and cocktails!<\/p>\n

My style is\u2026<\/strong>
\nSimple, minimal.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nA lot! My background before joining UncommonGoods was in design, so working here has given me the opportunity to learn about the business side of the industry.<\/p>\n

With a pile of stuff in front of me I would make\u2026<\/strong>
\n(You\u2019re given straw, a balloon, string, tape, a silver pipe cleaner, and a set of googly eyes. What do you make and who is it for?)<\/em><\/p>\n

The first thing that comes to mind would be to make a toy for a cat. I would put the googly eyes on the balloon (of course), tape the straw to a table, thread the string through the straw and tie it to the balloon in a make-shift pulley system that would let me manipulate the position of the balloon by pulling the string (thereby provoking the interest of the cat). Unfortunately, I have a hunch the balloon would not last long in this design.<\/p>\n
