In this episode, Mark interviews Corrin Arasa. Corrin is the Founder and Creative Director of Patina Studios, a company in Brooklyn, NY that curates, designs, and builds kick-ass collections of furniture to rent for events, productions, and commercial spaces. Her career began in experiential marketing, so she truly understands that details and decor make an event special and unique. Since 2012, Patina has expanded its style offerings from only vintage and the team is building and upholstering their own pieces.
