How Photobox transitioned to remote working

It's July 2020, already. Many companies have slowly found their way transitioning into remote working over the last few months and people are getting accustomed to working from their couch at their leisure. International remote work expert Laurel Farrer says; like everything in life, working from home has a honeymoon period. At first, things are new, exciting and novel, we get to play with new tools, have fun strategising and see all the money we are saving. But after a while it starts to get difficult, this excitement wears off and suddenly you have to make it work to work. Keeping remote work sustainable becomes the real problem.

So how do we get over this? The best thing to do is you work with someone who has already implemented a sustainable system, understand how they overcome obstacles. It takes time, but you'll get there, eventually.

We spoke with André Harris, Jr. the Head of Graphic Design at Photobox, London to understand how they implemented a sustainable system of remote working for design teams.

"Every creative brief is a ticket to a destination – a destination reached after a creative journey. Some journeys follow a precise route to perfection, others rely on spontaneously taking the path less-travelled.
When it comes to creative journeys with me at the helm, it’s more than just where we're going...it's about how we get there." - André Harris, Jr.
