MN ORIGINAL.

Bodega Ltd. - MN Original Feature
This past year, TPT's Emmy Award winning series MN Original interviewed us about our design philosophies, business and renovation. 

"Inspired by the concept of a neighborhood bodega, the creative team of Liz Gardner and Josef Harris aim to be a one-stop shop for their clients.

Collaboration is a cornerstone of their work with clients, whether they are tasked with branding, social media, styling or product development work."

ALIVE MAGAZINE SHOOT.

Alive Magazine came by #maisonbodega while they were in town to document our under-construction live/work space. Their magazine highlights creatives and entrepreneurs in middle America. Aggie took center stage (as usual) and the magical winter light did not disappoint.
