Guzman has raved about Vasesource in the past and we had to
know more about his passion for our products and his inspiration when creating
a masterpiece.
What do
you love most about Vasesource?: Vasesource has been with me from the
beginning when I started my company in October of 2016. I love the uniqueness
of the products. There is always something fresh and new with a contemporary
look. I also love how Vasesource has different variety and options for a few of
their collections.
Which collection/event piece of ours is
your favorite ‘go-to’ for an event?:
It depends on the event because each client will have a different opinion
about what they want. I have used the LOUIS candelabra and the SOPHIA candle holders the most.
I’m a big fan of the crystal collection and love how the SOPHIAs come in a
variety of sizes and can be used in different settings.

the Mandarin Oriental in Boston, MA)
What was the inspiration behind your TV
series “Jimmy’s Decorative Moments”?: As I became busier, I felt I was
losing a connection with my community. There are decorative moments all around
us and I felt this was a great way to talk about décor and reconnect with my
community.
What advice would you give to future/new
designers?: Do a lot of research, it could be from reading a magazine or
watching educational videos related to the industry, it will help you in the
long run. Attending classes and networking events that relate to what you want
to pursue and don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s through these experiences
I was able to grow as a designer.
Vasesource carries over 1500 items, what do
you look for when we announce the arrival of a new collection?: I pay
attention for when fresh new styles are featured. Whether it is new metallic or crystal, I love both styles. I also keep an eye out for gold candle holders that
maybe featured.
