Edie has curated three sustainability focused pop-up art & product exhibitions in Los Angeles and in New York in collaboration with SHFT, a multi-media platform - founded by film producer Peter Glatzer and actor-filmmaker Adrian Grenier - with a mission to convey a more sustainable approach to the way we live through video, design, art and culture.
