Hey! I'm RKA! Creative director, color lover, court jester of the home office palace.
I’m on a quest to turn my Chicagoland basement into the DIY Office o’ Dreams.
Down with desk sets and overstuffed executive chairs! They’re ruining my aesthetic, not to mention my back.
I’ve run my own branding agency for the last 13 years and I’ve done roughly 3% of my work atop a rolling desk chair with chubby arm rests, despite aggressive marketing from the Office Furniture Industrial Complex.
Allow me to woo the capitalists:
Working in a space that inspires joy & creativity isn’t a luxury, it makes good business sense.
Happy people are productive people. They are also more loving friends. More engaged parents. More dynamic members of their community. The ROI is though the roof! What’s there to lose?!
Why would entrepreneurs flee cube farms in droves only to shut ourselves up in our windowless home office dungeons?
