Where are you both originally from?
Sharon: "I'm Canadian, and have lived in Hong Kong, Vancouver, London, and Stockholm before moving to San Francisco."
Mike: "I'm from Seattle originally."

You guys have both been very successful at young ages. What's one of the best pieces of advice you've received in your career?
Mike: "If you focus on designing something you love, other people will probably love it, too. Also, only work on projects you're really passionate about."

The vintage Penguin books on the couple's shelf are from the Spitafields Market in London. They are propped up against a Vers 2Q speakers, and sit next to a Heath vase, beeswax candles from the local farmers market, and handcrafted toys from German company Holztiger.
