Overview
In 2020, a global pandemic overturned our day-to-day and dramatically shifted the concept of being at work. As we adjusted to dining room desks and bedroom offices, we got a daily reminder of the blurry lines between life and work. Despite the ability to stay digitally connected, many people felt more detached from each other. Work changed, and yet our need for shared experiences remained.
