I was at the aptly named Culture Fix on the L.E.S. and met the Melbourne-Based co-founder of
Harxest.com during his 1st NYC visit. “Harxest Spaces is a project I’m doing with a couple of mates and we just go to various creative individuals and shoot their spaces to give people an insight into what their workspaces look like.” Love it! Harxest is an online magazine which gives insight into the industries of art/design, fashion, culture, style icons & media. Designed in collaboration with Harxest and web development by Pounce, the site officially launched on the 30th of April 2011. Our conversation covers Melbourne vs NYC, the need for platforms like Harxest.com, his story and his favorite NYC Borough.
