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 & Chrissy Teigen, Jake has collaborated on collections with top brands including Parachute, Lulu & Georgia, and most recently, Crate & 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.
