We're closing the year with a little experiment.

14 years ago, the studio has been on a 4-day work week (long before Scandinavia made it trendy, 😆). It's worked for us because I believe creatives do their best work when they're happy. That extra day gives our designers space for side projects, personal work, or simply rest.

After the pandemic, our face-to-face time became rare. Since late 2023, we've only been meeting in person once a week, for half a day.

In the next 4 months, we're trying something new:

- Still 4-day work week
- 2 (sometimes 3) days a week of F2F work for three months
- We'll do this for 3 months, followed by one full month off in the 4th month (paid, of course)

If it works, this cycle will repeat three times a year: three months of work, one month of rest.

The goal is simple: spend more time together in the studio, reconnect, and create in close proximity again.

Balitaan ko kayo if gumana… Hahaha… Good luck to us.
