Name: Sergio Traverso
Gig: Manager at Building REsources, Part-Time Designer and Builder

How did you get into woodworking and how long have you been doing it?
"I studied industrial arts and product design in school, so some woodworking came a long with that, but I have definitely been working with wood a lot more over the past five years."

What are some recent projects you've done?
"I recently finished work on a shop in the Mission called Press: Works On Paper on 24th Street near Folsom Street. It's a very well-curated bookstore that also carries all the tools necessary for a literary life."

Anything coming up that you're excited about?
"I'm currently in the midst of gutting our showroom space at Building REsources and rebuilding a good portion of it. We're trying to incorporate a more contemporary design and come up with ways to better organize and display our constantly changing inventory. Simultaneously, we are trying to come up with new ways to work with local artists and builders, utilizing reclaimed materials, and be more involved with that community."
