Meet the makers - Andrea in Brooklyn

Located in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of South Williamsburg, right next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, lies [The Factory NYC](http://www.thefactorynyc.com/). They’re just a few minutes away from the Williamsburg Bridge connecting them to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. A 13,000 square foot workshop plays host to a range of activities including the making and installation of event sets, custom props, retail displays, scenic painting, carpentry, metalworking, CNC milling, and Opendesk furniture making. We met with Andrea to chat about life in the workshop and the team’s keen eye for perfection.
