Rajiv Surendra is a man of many artistic skills and talents, and you may recognize him from the movie, “Mean Girls.” Today, we stepped inside his New York apartment, which is filled with vintage and handmade items from all over the world. For his business, Letters in Ink, he creates unique chalk art and hand-lettered calligraphy, and it almost seems like he learns a new skill every week. Check out his apartment and learn about the history behind his thoughtful, handmade decor.
