How five designers actually use Figma
Sean Woolsey is the founder and craftsman behind Sean Woolsey Studio, where they make luxury handcrafted furniture. In a world that is trending towards mass market production that skimps on quality, their pieces are designed and crafted to last many generations.
Sean got his start in apparel design but after 8 years decided to take the plunge into furniture building and woodworking.

Some keys in my life
Running, tennis, biking, surfing, swimming, camping, traveling, good food & good coffee! I work out in some way every morning before work, which is crucial for the start of a good day for me.
What is the most useful item in your workspace?
My iPhone for sure if I had to just have one thing. I can work from anywhere with it and the camera is great.
How do you spark creativity?
I am inspired the most when I am not in the studio. I do a lot of surfing, trail running, yoga and breathwork/icebaths. Literally most of my groundbreaking ideas come from these places, when my mind is more at peace, seperated from all the things I have to do.
How do you manage work-life balance?
My life is very intertwined as a business owner, but doing what I love everyday makes most of what I do not feel like work. I genuinely still love what I do, and the team that we have, after 13 years of doing this. 7 years ago I made the decision to never work on weekends anymore now that I have a kid. Checking email and social media much less is a goal for me in 2024. I want to touch my phone less and read and create physical things more.
