Well ummm ok so let’s start from the beginning, like...a whole year and a half ago.</p> <p><br />What made you decide to join George and Kyle on this journey? Other than their great hair of course. (Disclaimer: Kyle and George did not tell me to add the hair part) (Disclaimer: To the Disclaimer: they totally did). </p> <p><br /><strong>“I was looking for a small studio, I wanted to be able to try things. But, I didn’t realise I was joining a studio THAT small. I found out I would be the first employee at the second interview. That was a deciding factor too, being the first means I’d be able to influence things in a way I wouldn’t be able to at a bigger place.” </strong></p> <p><br />Ok so how many offices have you been at? </p> <p><br /><strong>“This is the 5th office. We changed 3 times in the first weWork” </strong></p> <p><br />Wow, that’s a lot, in a very short time #progress #movingonup #blessed.</p> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="js-section"> <div class="c-attachment -visual"> <div class="c-editorial-image"> <div class="o-ratio" style="padding-bottom: 75%;"> <div class="o-ratio_content" data-load-style="background-image: url(uploads/articles/Anastasia-Itkina/IMG_3556-1920x1920.jpg);"></div> <img class="u-ghost-img" data-load-src="uploads/articles/Anastasia-Itkina/IMG_3556-1920x1920.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="js-section"> <div class="c-attachment -visual"> <div class="c-editorial-image"> <div class="o-ratio" style="padding-bottom: 133.33333333333%;"> <div class="o-ratio_content" data-load-style="background-image: url(uploads/articles/Anastasia-Itkina/IMG_3567-1920x1920.jpg);"></div> <img class="u-ghost-img" data-load-src="uploads/articles/Anastasia-Itkina/IMG_3567-1920x1920.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="js-section"> <div class="c-attachment"> <div class="o-layout"> <div class="o-layout_item u-1/4@from-medium"> </div> <div class="o-layout_item u-3/4@from-medium u-2/4@from-large || o-block -horizontal"> <div class="o-block -mobile -horizontal"> <div class="o-text -medium -light || o-wysiwyg || c-attachment_inner-block"> <p>Which has been your favorite and why?

Since university I’ve carried a bunch of photographs with me for inspiration, I hang them up at every office. I stopped hanging them after our second move. I am glad I can finally hang them again.” </strong></p> <p><br />That’s a vibe. Other than the photographs and Abe (Disclaimer: I had to hit my mentions of Abe quota), what inspires you? </p> <p><br /><strong>“When people have skills that I lack, that inspires me to look at things from a different perspective. And looking at the world through my camera...I am a photographer” (and she’s dope, check out her stuff @asyaemjay)</strong></p> <p><br />We do have a lot of people with different skills here. </p> <p><br />What would you say has been the biggest change to B&B?</p> <p><br /><strong>“WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE! And bigger projects. When I started we were doing a lot of quick projects, now we have some that last half a year.” </strong></p> <p><br />Alright, so let’s look into the future for a second (not the one where the robots have taken over), like the near-ish future, where would you like to see Born&Bred? </p> <p><br /><strong>“I would love to be an award winning internationally known agency. I would love for us to be doing international work.” </strong></p> <p><br />What a great future! Back to the present. What do you like most about working with George and Kyle? </p> <p><br /><strong>“They are really honest and I appreciate that. They also bring a personal attitude to everything they give feedback on” </strong></p> <p><br />Yea yea yea they are great (jk, they really are). But!
