In New York City, turning a creative idea into a business takes more than talent. It often means juggling multiple roles: artist, vendor, marketer… and figuring out how to make a living while staying true to your vision.

It’s a balancing act that Nicolás Gabot, the founder of Brooklyn Art Factory, has been navigating for years. He’s the founder of Brooklyn Art Factory, known for handcrafted wooden signs inspired by subway station designs and customized with the names of New York neighborhoods. His work resonates with people who want to see their communities represented.

Today, I sit down with Nicolás to learn more about the inspiration behind his work, how he rebuilt after losing everything in his New York City studio to flooding and theft, and what he’s learned along the way. Our conversation is one about persistence, problem-solving, and the often overlooked labor behind creative work.
