THE FOUNDER
Eric J. Winston founded SFDS in 2005 by happenstance. His construction firm was in the middle of several residential projects when a friend of a friend approached him. They were in need of someone to fabricate a Pop-up shop. His first question was "What's a pop-up shop?". The project went off without a hitch. This grew into a second, and then a third event. Eric realized that his ability to envision a finished product, and a quick work pace combined with his 15-year construction background was ideally suited for creating special events, and thus SFDS was born.
Eric has never shied away from the crazy or insane. If you need a 45'x 45' x 60' scaffold cube with custom fabric inserted into it, just ask! Especially if you have no idea how to do it, Eric does or will figure it out. THREE large sculptures under the Brooklyn Bridge in 4 weeks? Why not! Just ask Lysol,
If your timeline is insane and everyone else says "it can't be done", Eric says "No problem". On more than a few occasions other shops recommend SFDS because they know he gets done what other's will not attempt.
THE PARTNER
Dawid Bociek joined SFDS shortly after relocating from London almost a decade ago, where he was both a senior project manager at an investment management boutique and an underground event producer.
Here he gets to combine both of his passions - for he loves all things unusual to be extremely organized.
