First impressions matter.
All studios I’ve built have had one thing in common. The first impressions is: comforting.
Happy colours, encouraging words, friendly faces, un-intimidating and imperfect spaces.
Cause for many of us, it’s kinda scary to try something new. Leave our comfort zone. Put ourselves out there.
But that’s where growth happens - outside our comfort zone. And I know how validating it is, when we make ourselves vulnerable and are met with kindness and encouragement and the feeling that however we chose to, (or managed to) show up, was perfect.
That’s how we do things here, at .studio. That’s how we do all the things.
“I don’t think I would have had the courage to come here if everything had been fancy and perfect”
was all I needed to hear when I finally opened this studio that, after builder scams, construction fails, court cases, delays, burglaries and months of DIY projects, was so far from perfect.
No need to be perfect here. We‘re not either 🤷♀️❤️
