>>>Founded in 2002 by GGrippo of nydesignroom, Klaus Rosburg of Sonic Design, and brand strategist Cindy Hsiao, Firstop promotes the proliferation and diversity of designers and design resources based in Williamsburg. 

>>>This is notably the first time that designers will come together, under an organization of their own, to expose, publicize and potentially develop a distinctly Williamsburg brand of design.  Regardless of size or shape, inspiration or ethos, Firstop will be an ongoing, influential and seminal event planned as a yearly happening in support of innovative design.
