2020 in 3 questions

Maybe it’s the changing seasons, the longer evenings, or just 2020, but we’re growing a little introspective over here. As a team, we’re missing the daily connections with each other and with our clients, which got us thinking: how has 2020 been for you?

Our perspectives are below. But we’d love to hear your replies

What has the pandemic taught you

  • “My kids are even more awesome than I thought. I knew they were awesome, but it’s been great to spend so much time with them.” - Adam 
  • “Gratitude for good health, my home, and a career that gives me the flexibility to work full-time from home while facilitating 3 kids' e-learning; it hasn't been easy, but I never imagined I would have this much time with my pre-teens, or preschooler. Oh, and patience.” - Sarah 
  • “I love working remotely.” - Kate
  • “Cooking and grilling, which I’ve had time to practice between DoorDash deliveries.” - Cameron
  • “Patience, humility, fortitude, adaptability, optimism, grace, hope, compassion, and gratefulness. Also, I learned to sew to make masks, but also made myself new bedroom valances and bought some patterns for clothing to sew this winter.” - Kristi
  • “How much of an introvert I actually am.”- Emily
  • “That the internet is both a blessing and a curse. It offers so many opportunities to view and experience things I would have never had a chance to in real life. But when it's your primary way of experiencing things, it's not nearly enough.” - Matt

how will you remember this time?

  • “As a rough year that really helped me reframe my priorities.” - Sarah 
  • Tiger King.” - Adam 
  • “With gratitude. I have been able to spend more time with my family and in the shop working with my hands than ever before! These are things that I have found essential to my creative process.” - Brad 
  • “‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’ I’m super grateful for the extra time with my husband and dog, and the privilege of working safely from home, but I do miss my extended family.” - Emily 
  • “Spending a lot of time staring at my neighbors, waiting for food deliveries, ordering things I don’t need… and time with my family and my dog, Sasha.” - Kate
  • “I've learned to be more disciplined in my routines, which has helped me be more productive and learn new skills; it’s been like a self-guided addendum to my college education.” - Matt
  • “I will always remember how so many people came together to help one another in the early days.” - Kristi

what are you looking forward to in 2021

  • “I can't wait to see live music with friends again. I hope 2021 brings some great shows at my favorite venues.” - Matt 
  • “Being able to travel as a family again.” - Adam 
  • “Seeing my out-of-state family. Getting back into the office with my team. Plant babies breaking through the dirt in the spring.” - Sarah 
  • “Well, no more masks! I miss seeing smiles!” - Brad 
  • “A bigger return to normalcy and being able to see all of my friends. I’ve discovered new bands during the pandemic, and I’d love to see them live.” - Cameron 
  • “A possible vaccine that can help us find another new normal where we're all a little more conscientious and considerate of one another.” - Kristi 
  • “Checking out library books again. It’s a little random, but I haven’t trusted them to be germ-free!” - Emily 
  • “I look forward to going on a roller coaster.” - Kate
