I met Brooklyn podcaster Miller Pike in 2018 at Carmelos – we dug each other’s style and shot together on the street and in the studio a few times before realizing we had a lot of similar ideas about the local arts scene. We both wanted the world to see what’s going on in Bushwick. I wanted to do this from a fashion and photography perspective and she wanted to do it from a more generally creative perspective. At the time, Miller was launching a local, monthly salon series called #ApartmentPARTY, as a way to get in touch with that Bushwick community. Now, she has a podcast called “AP Studio Files,” so it felt like the right time to get in touch again.
