Getting Out of the Shed

Getting Out of the Shed

I missed little NY scenes.

Little by little normalcy is returning, and I have LOVED getting out of the shed. Bringing real live products to real live people, lighting them up, and testing them, its a big part of why I wanted this job in the first place. Besides that, NYC is feeling more and more like the city we all know every day. As such, I’ve been able to visit my designers a bit more, and it’s hard to describe how much I missed interacting with people outside of zoom. There’s no replacement for in-person conversations - the way they meander around and serendipitous connections just happen.

I was beginning to feel like it was silly to ever make content when an in-person conversation was so much effective. Then a funny thing happened during my visit.

After discussing a few very active projects a question came up about needing a curvable product with optics that could wrap around a column with a grazing optic. Inter-lux Rubber came to mind. Right at her desk, I was able to pull up the video I made in the shed with Sean walking through the product. We scrubbed through the video quickly and she saw the product curve against the wall and maintain its grazing optics. I promised to get her a sample.

The shed was always an adaptation to a new reality, but even before the pandemic, designers’ time was a precious commodity. That’s why I started this site long before the pandemic. I’ll continue to make content with my factories and show products in person when time allows.

It Might Be A Short Week, but there's so much going on.
