I’m writing with an update on the evolution of Out of Office after a year of motherhood and moving to a new creative home. Especially over the past months, I’ve been reflecting on how I want to spend my days, being a new mom, about what has shaped my own childhood, and what it is that helped me on my journey to build a creative, non-linear path and life. Out of Office has been the platform accompanying me through all my past years of exploring our working life and culture, and is my creative outlet to build a new paradigm of how we work and live, while going through this journey myself, experimenting, and, I guess, being the living proof for how work/life can be built differently. We have historically focused on reimagining how we live and work — through publishing (newsletters + booklet) and programming such as workshops, a residency, and community cohorts. Now, I want to take it one step further and build a home for inspired living. Whether or not you consider yourself an artist or a creative, many of us feel stuck and in (or just before) a moment of pivot. The old story of “success” has expired. And we’re ready for a new one. Many have been following the blueprint, but just find themselves burned out from it, realizing that “success” isn’t trading the best hours of our lives for a salary, but maybe it’s time filled with meaning, following our curiosity, experimenting, and exploring.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve explored and studied work/life and culture, living in different countries, cities, places and paces. Have learned from people living life in an intentional way. And have followed my zest for living life to the fullest. With Out of Office, I want to help others do the same. It is the portal I wish more people had access to. Out of Office is evolving into a creative platform for people who want to feel more inspired and connected, offering tools, artist-led experiences and programming that help you see your world — and yourself — with fresh eyes.
It is inspired by visits to artist residencies, creative studios, Barcelona’s architecture, art history and creative energy, and the peaceful nature–craft blend of Tuscany. It’s not about perfection. Instead, it implies integrating playfulness, curiosity, and low-stakes exploration in your everyday life… but also intention and commitment. What I’ve noticed in my own life is the feeling of aliveness that comes from expanding my world and connecting with the world around me. Whether that’s working from a cafe, where the sun shines in, and you’re soaking up the buzz, taking myself on a solo museum date, or an artist studio visit that changes how I see my own path. I believe by being in the world, immersing yourself in how others work and live, bringing creativity into your daily life, living and breathing it — that is how you get closer to living a new version of yourself. Not just thinking about how to live differently, but actually practicing it in everyday life.
Therefore, besides running programs to help you uncover your potential and imagine new possibilities for how you work and live, we now expand the platform to collaborate with artists to offer hands-on, one to multi-day studio sessions and experiences to immerse yourself in a living artist’s practice. My hope with this evolutionOver the years, I have found so much new inspiration by immersing myself in a living artist’s practice and local culture, hearing different stories on how to work and live, learn new skills, and seeing the world with fresh eyes. My hope is that this evolution of Out of Office gives you inspiration – for new paths, and in your daily life — by connecting with the world around, exploring and accessing a network of practitioners from pottery, to jewelry making, botanical dyes, wood working, to glass fusing and more.
