Over the last 16 months, my family and I have been undertaking a little experiment. For the first time, both breadwinners are Entrepeneurs. No safety nets, no excuses, no getting paid on vacation or sick days. The experiment has so far been nothing short of a revelation. Almost like kids I can't imagine my life as it once was.
The Studio, Boutique, Shop
Over the course of those 16 months, we've been slowly building up the UX practice. From just me running around town at various agencies / startups we've added team members, first helping out on projects we took on, but now helping agencies within integrated teams create some wonderful experiences. Lots more to come on this but this post is not about the SBS.
Our First Conversion
While there have been already a few first, first contract, first renewal, first ask for the second team member, first angry phone call, I wanted to take time to celebrate another first. Our first conversion from Kubeworks team member to agency employee. While we don't fancy ourselves as a staffing agency (the vast majority of our team members are people who I have worked alongside) we pride ourselves in making sure our team members grow. Sometimes that means mobile projects, real world interactions and sometimes it simply means finding them a new home. So we wish the very talented @lemondrop1000 best of luck
The Takeaway
We may not know where the road will lead, but we have our compass. We'll be sure to enjoy the journey.
