Who we are

SFDS Custom fabrication NYC

ERIC J. WINSTON | FOUNDER

Eric J Winston founded SFDS in 2005, entirely by chance. While working on several construction projects, a friend of a friend asked him if he could help with a new concept: a pop-up shop. Eric’s first question was simple: ‘What’s a pop-up?’ 

After getting an answer and and a few successful pop-ups later, Eric realized his 20 years in construction and experience as a fashion photographer, along with his ability to envision the final project gives him a competitive edge that few others in the industry could match (even more unique considering his Aphantasia, the inability to voluntarily form mental images and lacking a “mind’s eye”. 1-4% of the population experience it. Check it out here to see where you sit on the scale.)

But, enough said - SFDS was created!
Look around to see the rest.

DAWID BOCIEK | PRESIDENT

Dawid joined SFDS over a decade ago after relocating from London, where he had a diverse career as a senior project manager in an investment management group, and an underground event producer. His experience managing complex projects and creating memorable events allows him to approach challenges with creativity, precision, and attention to detail, making him an invaluable asset to the team. 

Here he gets to combine both of his passions - for he loves all things unusual to be extremely organized.

OUR MISSION

At our 18,000 sq ft shop in Brooklyn, we’ve built a reputation for delivering projects of all sizes and complexities with creativity, attention to detail, and a commitment to deadlines and budgets. From small local businesses to international corporations, we bring your brand’s vision to life, whether you have production renderings or a sketch on a napkin. Our full-service approach covers everything from a single prop to a complete turn-key pop-up event installation.

We’re also passionate about sustainability. We offer clients a selection of eco-friendly materials, and collaborate with local schools and organizations to donate, reuse, and recycle as much as we can. While sustainability is a complex issue, we tackle it with optimism and transparency. We’re also dedicated to educating the next generation of designers and makers by allocating time to educational projects and campaigns throughout the busy year.

Above all, we prioritize the well-being of our staff and community. We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and harassment, working hard to proudly protect and celebrate our core values.
