Brooklyn Entrepreneur Happily Works 7 Days a Week

Sigal de-Mayo is the creative force behind Insiders1, a Brooklyn-based small business that creates wearable and usable art out of photo collages she shoots, designs and prints. After 16 years selling at street fairs and holidays markets, Insiders1 has just opened its first brick-and-mortar location in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.
