I think he's an actual employee though. Or may have once been an employee before he started his Furniture Studio. I remember browsing his Instagram before he closed it up, and he had some pics in there about working there.

Unfortunately this was way early in the game, so I didn't save any screencaps.

I think he just changed his handle today, because if you search for his old username it still shows up, but if you click on it, it goes to the new account with a new username.
