How we run a remote-first atelier

Running a studio remotely is less about tools and more about defaults. We default to writing things down, to async over meetings, and to trusting people to manage their own time.

Work happens in the open: decisions are documented, demos are recorded, and anyone can catch up on a project without interrupting the person doing it.

It is not for everyone. But for senior people who value autonomy, it is hard to go back.
