THE SUM OF HER PARTS
For Quan, home is where
her divergent interests
intersect: skateboarding,
design, photography, art,
and nature. “Louis and I are
both suckers for estate sales
and thri stores. You never
know what you’re going to
find,” Quan says. “The thrill
is in the hunt, finding that
needle in the haystack, and
finding something casto ,
yet beau fully designed.”
Quan is a careful curator of
all things in her life,
including her shop and self.
We asked her to share some
of her inspira ons and
obsessions. Here’s a
glimpse at life through
her crea ve eyes.
Every day starts with
a cup of joe made
in her favorite carafe.
