Whitney Falk
Founder & CEO,
ZZ Driggs
Whitney Falk founded ZZ Driggs in 2015 with a discerning eye and vision to change the way we furnish our homes and the places we dwell. Tired of seeing yet another fiberboard IKEA bookshelf left out on the street, and existentially exhausted by the deforestation via mass-produced furniture retailers, she built a platform that offers on-demand delivery and pick-up of contemporary, locally-made sustainable furniture for when you need it, for as long as you need it via month-to-month rentals. Whitney works with the local design communities within Brooklyn, Downtown LA, and Oakland to provide their customers a necessary option for modern living.
