Breaking News @Fab Named 5th Most Innovative Company In The World by @FastCompany

Holy moly.

This was not expected. It is so very humbling and inspiring. What a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Fab team towards re-imagining and reinventing what online shopping can be all about.

Fab is everyday design. In a very short period of time we have created the world’s #1 design store by delivering a fresh, unique, quirky, modern, and fun experience. And, we’re just getting started.

Fast Company just named the 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2013 and Fab was named #5. Stunning.

Thank you Fast Company and others for acknowledging our progress.

But, we’re just getting started. We plan to continue re-imagining and reinventing every day.

Smile, you’re designed to.

Here’s a video interview of me last week on our approach to building Fab.
