Finding Office Nirvana

Maybe it was the chocolate kouign amann from B. Patisserie, an obsession worthy pastry shop around the corner, or maybe it was the morning sunshine streaming in through the tall street-front windows, but when I first saw the empty bike shop on Divisadero, I knew it was destined to be our new office. It was no beauty to start. But after we removed the peg board from the walls, the dilapidated vinyl flooring and the grates from the windows, our vision for the space became a lot clearer. Now, the tall warm white walls supported by the old wooden columns and beams, and grounded by the clear finish white oak floors have become the perfect backdrop for our creativity and focus.

Sadly, due to Covid, we haven’t been able to spend a lot of time in our lovely office of late. Like others across the world, our team is now collaborating over Zoom and our cell phones, which has worked a whole lot better than expected! But, we still miss our space and the neighborhood. As a way to stay in touch even while we are away, we’ve created a rotating artwork display in our windows to enliven our street space. If you’re in the ‘hood, please walk on by!
