It’s been nine months since the world stopped spinning, only to restart at a different rhythm. And although we’d spotted this new style of work approaching on the horizon, we still weren’t prepared for it. In a blink of an eye, our work environments and lives were reduced to a screen and a keyboard. We were forced to go virtual.
As a workplace strategist & designer at Sshape in Washington DC, I had to rethink my approach to work in that moment. I needed to provide solutions for my clients, who were facing an unforeseen situation with high levels of uncertainty. Taking on the strategic interior design of an office in such a complex environment where we didn’t know how or when we would return was a challenge. However, a few years ago I completed the Master in Strategic Design of Spaces at the IE School of Architecture & Design, where I received the tools to react with agility and see change as an opportunity.
