Make small things
beautifully.
Seven of us today, in a workshop on Sydney Road that smells like rosemary by 9am. We hire slowly, pay transparently, and treat the craft as the point.
“We’re trying to be a place where the work is genuinely good and the conditions to do it are genuinely sane. The two shouldn’t be in tension.”
— Maya Kowalski, founder
We’re hiring four roles.
