What does an office designer do when all offices are closed indefinitely? During Nov 2020 East Coast offices and workplaces were vacant, no plans were made to reopen them. It was at that point I decided to reframe COVID as the perfect workplace experiment if ever there was one. Reframing the challenge created movement in thoughts, and a jolt of creativity. My role as a designer in this world has forever changed.
