Jake Arnold // On Ascending From an Internship to a Career, Having Faith In Intuition, and Growing a Brand While Maintaining Boundaries

On this week's episode of Talk Shop, Ariel welcomes the fabulously talented AD100 Designer, Jake Arnold, to the podcast. Jake’s work – eponymous with ease, luxury, and comfort – is at the forefront of a new wave of designers, creating fresh, modern spaces that transcend time and trends. Along with designing homes and spaces for celebrities like John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Jake has collaborated on collections with top brands including Parachute, Lulu and Georgia, and most recently, Crate and Barrel. Earlier this year, the e-design platform that Jake co-founded with his best friend Leo, called The Expert, (where Ariel is one of the Expert designers!) launched an e-commerce line, providing consumers access to the best of the trade brands, rare vintage, and made-to-order showrooms from The Expert’s impressive roster of designers. And Jake’s first book, Redefining Comfort, is now available.
