It’s Tuesday morning. What’s the scene at your workplace?
I’m in my studio working, or running around the Diamond District.

What’s on the agenda for today?
Carving waxes for two wedding rings, both to be cast in 18k gold, one to be set with a lovely fat emerald. I’ve been making a lot more pieces for ceremony and engagement — I love getting asked to make custom forever work that veers from tradition, but fully embraces beauty.

Any restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
Getting back to Little Grenjai in Bed-Stuy, for starters. Further afield in Manhattan, I’d like to graduate from the bar and a snack to the full table treatment at Le Veau D'Or, and finally make it to S&P with my fiancé Joseph after exhausting ourselves at Chelsea galleries. Finally, back in Brooklyn, there’s always Four Horsemen for chill, weird perfection.

How about a little leisure or culture this week?
I always like to check out the scene at the gallery 52 Walker, and of course, I saw the Alvin Ailey exhibit at The Whitney before it closed. Might try to cram in a show at The Drawing Center as well.

What’s a recent big-ticket purchase you love?
My big ticket wishes are typically travel-related. I’m currently planning a trip to Marseille to see a beloved who recently expatriated. Of course, I do have an online wishlist of coveted Phoebe Philo-era vintage Céline, and if I could, I’d buy a profoundly expensive hand-blown glass from Ulysse Sauvage or some leather opera gloves from Dries (to wear to the aforementioned classic excursions) that I saw at Outline.

What NYC store or service do you love to recommend?
Carrie at Carrie Lindsey Beauty in Fort Greene, always. She is magic.
