Transcending Borders

During the COVID-19 pandemic our studio made the intentional choice to give up traditional office space and reinvest those resources directly into each team member’s home workspace. We’ve found that when we get to create in our happy places our productivity and creativity flows more naturally.

 

Remote collaboration has become part of our rhythm, and we don’t see ourselves returning to a formal office unless it ever becomes truly necessary. For now (and for the future) we plan to continue building our best work right where we feel most inspired.
