Innovate + Overcome: our mantra for these difficult times.

As creative collaborators, we use the latest digital collaboration tools and gadgets in our practice, it has been part of our process for years. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve had the luxury of working from home and continuing to interact and collaborate with our colleagues in a surprisingly seamless way. Many people don’t have this luxury and many are in harm’s way, providing healthcare and doing their best to keep people safe and supplied. We’ve been trying to do our part to protect those in the service roles, health care professionals, and all the other unintentional heroes who have emerged during this crisis.

We've been using our bandwidth, creative resources, and technical capabilities to help out in the near term while considering our post pandemic future. In the near term we’ve been making face shields, 3D printing mask adapters, and machining production tooling for multiple new PPE solutions. We’ve been shipping mask adapters to front line ER doctors in New York City and working with local doctors in Atlanta. We consider this a luxury too, it's empowering to feel useful during a crisis, even if it’s in a small way. From individual makers to office teams assembling PPE kits, everyone’s small contributions have created a big impact.

Looking past this crisis, it's clear that things are going to be different. If the ingenuity, sacrifice, and good-will showed by individuals in recent weeks is any indication, we’re looking forward to a new era of creative collaboration. Things won’t be the same as they were, but that’s okay. Collaborating and moving forward, creatively and with new constraints is what we do best! Stay well, innovate, and overcome!
