Whilst I could make it sound like a smooth and zen-like transition from one to the other, I don’t think I’d fool anyone. Covid happened and I was unequivocally shoved off the edge without a whiff of ceremony or even a handshake. The rug of regular income was well and truly yanked from under my corporate backside, and I finally hit a now-or-never moment to step into an idea I’d had since graduation: What if I did this for myself? One year on and here we are. Several projects and even more happy clients under my belt, and I’m well and truly sold. https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/journal/thecloudtheofficeandasparklyfrenchbulldog monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/6d70e098-fa70-46f6-be28-2e792d8a6cad/SAM-49.JPG Journal - The Cloud, The Office, and a sparkly French Bulldog. - BG - Final question: In the last year or two we’ve seen a massive shift in working practices; with people being forced to work from home. More traditional industries that couldn’t have contemplated home working have had to adopt it as a practice and teamed with Covid hanging around for now, there’s almost a reticence to moving back to centralised working. Do you have any predictions for workplace practices in the near future? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/d8bae96d-789e-44f0-a255-07135cd946ce/SAM-82.jpg Journal - The Cloud, The Office, and a sparkly French Bulldog. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/f1fca2a8-b668-454e-ba50-b04cbbf56b8d/SAM-68.JPG Journal - The Cloud, The Office, and a sparkly French Bulldog. - BG - A key part of our design process is getting to the bottom of what our clients love, but equally what they hate. Was there anything you tried to steer clear of when setting up the new space? SR - We were really keen to avoid the corporate image of a lot of IT tech firms. We wanted to be the opposite of boring, corporate, or stuck in a seedy basement somewhere conforming to Technical Support stereotypes! I’ve worked in big corporates before in really uninspiring spaces with really traditional working practices. We wanted to be the exact opposite. BG - So can you put this space into words? Tell us how it serves you now, and how it reflects the culture of Cloud Nexus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/6d2db66b-da8d-4c2d-a165-90f42d441497/Cloud_Nexus_140921_9-683x1024.jpg Journal - The Cloud, The Office, and a sparkly French Bulldog. - Scott set up his cloud computing business in 2019 just before the pandemic hit (ouch). Despite the hurdles, Cloud Nexus has grown almost exclusively on a remote working model. So why on earth would anyone need - or want - to move their staff to a central office format when business was already booming with a WFH team? The expense, the hassle, the commute? We asked all the questions when Scott commissioned Moxie Interior Design Co to design a new office space for a growing team. What did they want out of the space? How could a single office serve them better than their existing model? What on earth is cloud computing anyway? (just me? OK then). After completion, we returned to meet the team in their new habitat, and to understand more about the driving force behind creating and utilising a shared office space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/3cbdb6e9-9675-47f1-8e33-9f14f33e3933/SAM-97.JPG Journal - The Cloud, The Office, and a sparkly French Bulldog. - BG - You’ve been in the office a couple of months now, what have you learned as you’ve transitioned from one way of working to another? SR - I think we’ve learned and demonstrated to ourselves that we can do work-life balance better than pre-pandemic habits would suggest. We’ve always focused on outcomes rather than clockwatching or presenteeism, so for us coming https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/journal/2022-in-colour monthly 0.5 2022-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cc74020bf15d757ac17893/d292c2a6-a1dd-4758-8292-efd48a8e9fcc/il_794xN.2248444471_stvx.jpg Journal - 2022 in Colour - Whilst colour forecasting is not Etsy's mainstay, their chosen colour of the year for 2022 is Emerald Green. "Symbolizing harmony and growth, along with royalty and refinement, emerald green is the perfect color to remind us to find balance this year". We've seen a lot of this green in recent years, particularly in Interiors. Clearly, it's a shade that's here to stay.

Moxie Interior Design Co. is owned and run by Becs Gardner.

Becs says: “Above everything else, my goal is to lend courage and energy to my clients. I want to give them the bottle and the vision to push the boundaries, try something new, and create a unique space that is well-loved and well used.” https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/howwework daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/contactus daily 0.75 2021-07-18 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/faqs daily 0.75 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential/livingroomconcept monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential/livingroom monthly 0.5 2021-11-05 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential/masterbedroom monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential/guestbedroom monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/residential/thegreenroom monthly 0.5 2021-11-05 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/atriumandliftlobbyconcept monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/breastcancerhaven monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/receptionareaconcept monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/ghd monthly 0.5 2022-01-06 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/breakoutspacedesign monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/insideoutside monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/work/cloudnexus monthly 0.5 2022-01-06 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play daily 0.75 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play/bragozzowinebarandrestaurant monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play/myronsdelicatessen monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play/eventsterrace monthly 0.5 2021-07-02 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play/ceramicsexhibition monthly 0.5 2021-07-02 https://www.moxieinteriordesign.co.uk/play/peakdistricthotelsuite monthly 0.5 2021-07-08
