I’m returning to my roots and offering branding, creative, and art direction services once again.
For those that have been following @otherwild from the beginning, you may recall that we set out to be a hybrid retail space and design studio. I’ve started taking select client work once again and I’m feeling very energized by it.

I’m excited to announce the launch of my new consultancy practice Anotherwild, partnering with brands, cultural institutions, and founders to shape identities, products, experiences, and collaborations that feel thoughtful, grounded, and culturally alive.
Anotherwild evolves from my years building Otherwild and expands on my work at Gotham — bringing together creative vision and operational clarity in a more focused way.
After my role at Gotham came to a close, I took time to reflect on where I can have the greatest impact. This feels like the answer.
I’m currently welcoming new clients and collaborators.

Rest in power, @cecilerichards . It was an honor to meet you, work with you and support the critical work you did with Planned Parenthood. 💔 @nytimes #thefutureisfemale
Back in 2015, our VP of Creative + Merchandising, Rachel Berks, remade “The Future is Female” t-shirt, based on a design from the 70s for Labyris Books, the first women’s bookstore in New York City. When she learned that the c🍃nnabis plant is most prized in its female form, she had a new idea…

I first met Eunbi Cho through Otherwild, where we sold a collection of her impeccable, architectural ceramics. I commissioned these new @eunbilievable pieces available exclusively at @gotham.ny , where I currently curate the lifestyle assortment.

For the last month, I’ve been sharing teasers from a new project I’ve been working on @gotham.ny and I’m excited to announce that we are now open to the public!

Gotham is a female-founded cannabis concept space committed to curating and sharing one-of-a-kind products, art, and experiences that reflect New York’s rich history and influence.

It’s been a thrill to help launch this magical dream space as Gotham’s Director of Merchandising. I’ve brought in some of my favorite brands - new and old, and I can’t wait for you all to see it.

On this #nationalsiblingday I’d like to highlight the artwork of my amazing sister Stefanie Boyd-Berks (@_sozelle ). She makes these incredible embroidered paintings by hand. She inspires me endlessly. Oh and it’s her birthday tomorrow!
Stef was also responsible for much of the amazing design work that came out of Otherwild in the last couple of years.
And if you wanna see us many moons ago, slide through to the end to see me as the most excited big sis ever, right after she was born almost 40 years ago to the day ❤️
Yesterday we shut the lights for the last time at our beautiful home of 1768 N Vermont Ave. This video breaks my heart a little bit, but as cliche as it is- when one door closes, another one opens.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what Otherwild is beyond retail, and how it might exist in the future as a platform for conversation, curation, mutual aid, programming and more. Shout out to my dear @likemindedobjects for initiating these thoughts and ideas. I don’t exactly know what that looks like right now, but I’m excited to take the time to find out.
Meanwhile, I’ve been satisfying my retail itch as Director of Merchandising for a new retail concept @gotham.ny . Follow along.
And stay tuned for whatever Otherwild wants to be when they grow up.
