Aaron Boucher and Laura Vac- carella met at a mutual friend’s barbecue in Brooklyn. He is originally from Texas, while she is a Jersey girl. Boucher moved to New York City a little over 13 years ago after finishing gradu- ate school for architecture. He worked primarily on contempo- rary high-end residential projects for severable notable firms and was living in Bushwick (Brooklyn) when he met Vaccarella. Shortly thereafter, the couple moved to Hoboken together, and Boucher began working at a high-end fab- rication company in Jersey City designing and building furniture. Boucher had a vision about a decade ago for a multi-media work space, but the recession began before the space was re- alized. After moving to New Jer- sey, it became readily apparent that studio space was priced at a premium and the solution for a collective evolved into Field Colony; a space where people who work in creative fields could collaborate in a shared venue.
