About Steph Krim
Steph Krim is the mind behind Good Things Vending, a creative vending machine project in Chicago, IL. She was born in Massachusetts to a family of artists and collectors. In 2008 she moved to Chicago to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and after graduating, worked in hospitality operations helping to open 8 new restaurants and bars.
