«Real Work/Life Balance in the Studio» with Anton Repponen, co-founder and designer at Anton & Irene.

«Real Work/Life Balance in the Studio» is a public lecture organised by Harbour.Space University in collaboration with OneCoWork.

This talk will be conducted by Anton Repponen, co-founder and designer at Anton & Irene.

After breaking away from agency life and having gone independent, Anton & Irene are treating their Brooklyn-based studio as their long-term passion-project. Now in its third year, they finally managed to find the perfect balance between working on client work (and getting paid!) and working on self-initiated projects (for free!). They will share their experience on how to successfully have a good work/life balance while producing creative work for both.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance client work with self-initiated work (and still pay the rent), this is the talk for you.

For: Designers, developers, project managers, anyone working across digital and design
