Picture 11

Last Friday I stopped by the new and improved One Kings Lane offices in New York City to meet with the Senior Art Buyer, Stephen Haskell.

While I was there I was lucky enough to get a behind the scenes look of the magic that goes into making this site the extraordinary power house it has become. From the creative teams shooting images for the site to merchandisers finding great new content for upcoming sales, it was incredible to see everyone hard at work in such a gorgeous environment.

One Kings Lane has had an incredible year thus far, projecting to hit its 3 millionth subscriber in the next few weeks (when I started with One Kings Lane last year they had about 600,000). It also is projected to triple last years earnings, proving that it is keeping the fire alive in the competitive world of online flash-sale sites. (I recommend you take a look at this article with the CEO of One Kings Lane that was published last week).

Enjoy the images below along with a 5 question Q&A with the talented Senior Art Buyer, Stephen Haskell.

I want the merchandise team to continue to really innovate in the e-commerce space — present gorgeous product at great value, in many new and exciting contexts.
