If we’re lucky, a good friend can see us through a breakup. They’re there for long walks, late-night phone calls, and to be a friendly face on darker days. Actor and designer krysta_rod took it one step further: When her friend Adam Levy left his long-term relationship, she turned his new NYC rental into the modern man’s bachelor pad he needed to feel like himself. Adam and Krysta have known each other for over a decade. The L.A. natives met at their highschool in Orange County, where Rodriguez, a veteran Broadway performer and alumnus, was mentoring students like Adam. When Adam moved to New York and started performing on Broadway himself, the two grew inseparable, and they now collaborate on the shows Adam produces for Disney. When she’s not on stage, Krysta has a successful side hustle (curated.by.kr) designing dressing rooms for fellow performers like Kristen Chenoweth, Jonathan Groff, and Lea Michele. “Krysta gave me the confidence to start over,” Adam says. He’d found a rental in a friend’s building in Midtown Manhattan, but it felt cold and was lacking in character. “I knew exactly what I wanted to do the minute I saw the apartment,” Krysta remembers.
