“I started to think about how I could transition the work that I was doing for other jobs—architects, music publishers, investment makers—take those skills and put them to work for artists.”
“I wanted to formalize a way of getting that information to people and helping them through the process… not providing artists with giant lists that caused them to do more work, but really eliminating a lot of the work.”
“ … Artists were saying, ‘No, I don’t use contracts. I am embarrassed to ask for them.’”
“I had this idea that it would be great to create a bulletin board where these people could find each other. And then if they want to share space, loan out… somebody wants to loan out their studio and somebody wants to borrow a studio, they can be protected by using a contract.”
“Networking, to me, is not about telling other people about me. It’s getting to know my community … just so that I have that information.”
“Artists are creative problem solvers, and it doesn’t always have to be something very complicated.”
