![Meet Liana Satenstein](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1731528808198-GYNU79A8I5LKQ4VNG5BS/Liana+Satenstein+for+passerby+magazine+by+Clemence+Poles25.jpg)
You might spot fashion writer Liana Satenstein on a run around Prospect Park or food shopping in Brighton Beach. We chatted with her about working at Vogue, getting into fights at school, and spending time in Ukraine and Russia.
![Meet Huong Dodinh](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1728998821821-6T641QZQ5S2N93DPYSKH/Huong+Dodinh_passerby+magazine82.jpg)
You’re unlikely to spot painter Huong Dodinh on the street, as she’s nearly always at her home studio, working on her next painting. We visited Huong there for a chat about seeing snow for the first time, painting in total silence, and coming out of a coma
![Reality Bites with Sarah Ben Romdane](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1729195673299-9GL982BTJMEXNLP6JSC0/Sarah+Ben+Romdane_passerby+magazine13.jpg)
Sarah's family produced olive oil in Tunisia from the end of the 19th century until the 1950s — and with her brand, KAÏA, she has picked up the family legacy. We caught up with her about olive oil, Ottoman stews and Levantine rice dishes, and nostalgic eating in diaspora.
![Meet Laurie Simmons](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1730490882087-1XXBNJ3R2MBHQIKY0Y40/Laurie+Simmons+for+passerby+magazine+by+Clemence+Poles+42.jpg)
The artist elaborates on the importance of prioritizing friendship, why a successful marriage is based on accountability, and being unapologetically feminine for the first time in her life.
![Meet Ana Kras](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1730925601875-E0BZ1QGXELYXOD60LNWW/ana+kras+passerby+magazine+by+clemence+poles+24.jpg)
The designer pends 90% of her time in her apartment-studio hybrid, but you might spot her at the bakery, buying her daily pain de sucre. We talked to Ana about her childhood in Belgrade, her luxuriously simple approach to beauty and fashion, and creating an inspiring space in which to live.
![Meet Danny Malave](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1730925741760-6WZFXJIQY0MTBB87K3VT/Danny+Malave+for+passerby+magazine+by+clemence+poles+11.jpg)
If you spot boxing coach Danny Malave in Manhattan, she's likely coaching a client on a tough maneuver. If not, she’s walking by the ferry, listening to Otis Redding or Tupac. We chatted about her unexpected path to fighting, her non-parent-approved tattoos, & more.
![Camera Roll with Amandine Gay](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1729198273870-XDRND1WAV6GT8IMKNG9P/Amandine+Gay+for+passerby+by+clemence+poles+13.jpg)
You might not spot the filmmaker, as she spends most days at her desk, but she might spot you when she’s taking a break people-watching in Montreal’s cafés. We spoke to her about developing an Afro-feminist aesthetic, sleeping in on the weekends, and getting a hysterectomy.
![Meet Kaitlin Phillips](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/552d7a52e4b0ede95614e9c8/1730925400221-2IF59G3XDB84NBD05FVI/Kaitlin+Phillips+for+passerby+by+clemence+poles+35.jpg)
It’s no secret that the publicist can often be found at Lucien on the LES, but these days she’s splitting her time between Manhattan and Marseille. We talked to her about watching the Olympics on a rented television set, finding a job on Facebook, and more.
