It’s been a while since we blogged, but we’ve been far from idle. As well as launching some gorgeous new websites, we’ve been working on a number of current projects, as well as diarising some lovely new work which will fill our summer months. But, we’ve also been doing something else. Something quite Life changing – in many ways!
After much soul-searching and researching, we’ve sold up in West Didsbury and are now finally settled in our new home in Istria, in north west Croatia, very close to the Italian border. Yes, after years of putting things into place – leaving day jobs, setting up our own business, moving from an office to home-working, restructuring our business and down-sizing – we’ve done it! We moved in on 1st March 2017 and it’s been a whirlwind couple of months as we get to grips with Croatian bureaucracy, a whole new language and some increasingly hot weather…
Although we still have a long way to go in terms of our plans for the house, we are now fully set up with the internet, we’ve ported our Manchester telephone number and are back on with the important business of design. Everything is continuing as normal. We have an amazing group of clients and whilst it is lovely to meet up with people, many of them we’ve never actually met before. We call, email, Skype – and this is what we’re continuing to do now. When we are back in England, if we do need to meet up, we will, but as this way of working has been how we’ve done it for quite a long time, you can be rest assured that you’ll still be in very good design hands.
We work with a fair few clients you may well know – Withington Baths and Leisure Centre, Thyme Out Food Co, Love Bridal Boutique, Azzurro Restaurant, Pinchjos – doing ongoing design work, as well as welcoming new clients to the Life Family, since we’ve relocated. Some in Manchester. Some further afield. And the message from all seems to be, distance is no object, as everything is online and we’re as accessible as we were in West Didsbury.
So, if you’re looking for a designer – and perhaps a business meeting in the sun – get in touch. We’d love to hear from you…
