I'm a designer in San Francisco who spends a lot of time indoors. A couple of years ago I got obsessed with a realization: the synthetic materials and fabrics throughout our homes are constantly shedding into the air we breathe. I've been on a mission to change that in my own home through research, and I made nontoxicnook to share that research and list the products I'd actually want to live with.
