Bright, illuminating & always gleaming. These are the three words that come to mind when you think of Bulb’s founder, Kazan Spratt. And they are probably the best words to describe his shop!
Now, throw on some jazz or maybe “Backstage Sally” and get to know Kazan!

We have a trailhead to the Wissahickon a couple blocks from our home. For me a walk in the woods is invigorating, settling and certainly inspiring.

West Hampton NY for a wedding then into Brooklyn the next day for the reception. My father was in from the west coast and we drove together. A perfect way to catch up.

Lights Out

My music. I love jazz and listen to it all day every day.

I wanted to be a rock star. I played in bands in and around Philly for years. It helped immensely in developing self-confidence, social skills and collaborating as part of a team working through the creative process.
11. What do you need to make a decision?
I make my best decisions when I’m in a positive frame of mind and afford myself time to thoughtfully consider all options.

Will you stay with me forever? The answer was/is yes.
