Complete Professionalism

Sometimes I feel like we're doing our clients a greater service simply for the fact that we have an absolute blast working together, Hamid and I.
Because we can sit here with the newest rips blaring, and make fun of eachother like ten year olds, and laugh, and trade mushy compliments while simultaneously managing deadlines, emailing necessary files, and uploading important code we infuse our work with the same energy and enthusiasm we bring to our relationship.

I'm totally serious.

This is important stuff...this concept of a happy work space is no new thing - and I'm such a better person for the experience. I'd never trade it in for anything - not a million dollar position in the most swank office, with Dior kickbacks, or anything.

My husband is my best friend, and my business partner - I'm spoiled rotten.

I am awed, daily, by his ability to fix the technological muck of things I cannot seem to get my own brain around...his insane drive to build the-best-of-whatever-it-is for our clients...and his unwavering dedication to me - all at the same time.

It took a while for us to find this space...for months into our relationship neither of us had worked, and I was on the very very...um, VERY long end of a two year holiday.
But eventually the bank account was exhibiting minimalist tendencies and we wanted the freedom that regular income will bring.

The rest was either an accident or an act of the universe, bringing us not only the most wonderful regular clients (all of whom are spectacular independent business women - not a coincidence, I think), but an ever-changing plethora of new experience in graphic and web design, virtual admin, and custom programming.
Sitting here with Mattafix on volume 30 inspiring the most recent order for a press release and Hamid's brilliant open-source blog program, I'm happily ensconced in our home office...working away, like anyone else does in this work-a-day world - except my view (gorgeous Persian eyes and a killer smile), and my surroundings (read: discotheque) are WAY more fun...so there.

Its the start of something big.
As anything born of true love will be.
