New Year’s Eve is prime time for reminiscing and celebrating, and Gianna
Majzler is doing plenty of both as she waits for her guests to arrive. “In
college, I started as a dance major, then switched from costume design to set
design to theater,” she recalls. “Then I was a film major, followed by art
history and applied art and ceramics. When I signed up for puppetry and advanced
puppetry, my mom asked, ‘What’s next, basket weaving?’ But I’d already taken
that the previous semester.” Today, she’s part owner of F.G. & Co., known
for its vintage-inspired paper goods. “Much to my parents’ relief, everything I
learned in college really comes in handy when I’m at work, and even more so when
I throw a party.”

Montecinos. (b) In the living room, piggy banks wear party hats. The hats, made
with F.G. & Co. wrapping paper, change with the season.
(c) These wooden figurines (carved in the Philippines) have moveable arms and legs,
so Gianna can dress them up. (d) “No high cabinets—I can’t reach them!” (e) Artist Danyel Montecinos, Gianna, and business partner Darren Calkins
(Danyel’s brother).
