Kris Keenan, UncommonGoods Product Safety & QA Coordinator<\/center>
\nMy hometown is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nNashua, NH<\/p>\n

My favorite UncommonGoods product in my category is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a bit obsessed with all of the Uncle Goose blocks, especially the Counting Koi Blocks<\/a>. I also love the softer style ones, like the Illustrated Animal Wooden Blocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong>
\nI\u2019d love to give a sophisticated answer here, but the truth is: my mom (the voice I hear talking me down whenever I think life is too hard \u2013 because it totally isn\u2019t and I\u2019m just dramatic) and my dad (whose voice I hear if I try to cut corners, but also teasing me for not having more fun with life).<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t believe in guilty pleasures \u2013 I relish all my vices.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026 <\/strong>
\nI have moved 18 times (counting apartment moves, as well as cities and states).<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nGrimaldi\u2019s Pizza<\/a> all the way!<\/p>\n

The word that best describes me…<\/strong>
\nIf I\u2019m honest \u2013 contrary.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nHow to talk comfortably on the phone for business.<\/p>\n

With a pile of stuff in front of me I would make\u2026<\/strong>
\n(You\u2019re given washi tape, sequins, colorful string, safety pins, and felt squares.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I would make decorative garlands with my nieces, Star and Evelyn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
