Out of Office is a platform and community of curation offering tools, programming and artist-led experiences to bring more creativity into your everyday life.
Whether or not you consider yourself an artist or a creative, many of us feel stuck behind our desks with routines that leave little room for curiosity, play, and inspiration. Days blur together behind screens and to-do lists, and creativity and exploration get boxed into holidays or weekends, instead of daily life.
A curator of people and ideas, with a zest for living life to the fullest. I’ve built a way of living and working that lets me follow my curiosities and shape my days around the season of my life.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve explored different paces and places, having lived and worked in Vienna, London, NYC, and now Barcelona. In between, I’ve spent months immersing myself in Mexico, California, Italy, and Cape Town, to name a few.
In Italy, I was inspired by the slow pace and artist residencies in Tuscany, visiting practitioners and scouting future dream houses. In Barcelona, I enrolled in rug tufting, jewellery, and pottery workshops and fell into Surrealist art. In Mexico, I was moved by the architecture, colour, creativity, and craft. In New York City, I fed off its energy and sense of possibility. And in other places and periods, I’ve also known what it feels like to lack inspiration and feel stagnant.
“I feel like I’ve cracked the code to a good life. And I want to help others do the same.”
At the heart of all of this is my love for exploration and curation—and for the serendipity that comes with it. I love finding the café with the perfect scone and cortado (decaf), the museum that breaks up my day, the retreat venue that turns out to be owned by an artist with a pottery studio attached. I love collaborating with and showcasing designers and artists, wandering into pop-ups, and striking up conversations with founders of beautiful places. This is what makes me feel alive.
Through this way of living—and learning how to do creative, inspiring work that flows with it—I feel like I’ve cracked the code to a good life. And I want to help others do the same.
This is a place where I share my wisdom and offer tools and creative practices to help you build your own way of creative living.
