I used to think our studio needed a big open floor plan
For years I pushed for a huge, single room for our team of eight, thinking it would boost collaboration. Then a freelancer we hired for a month straight up told me, 'I can't focus with the constant sound of three different video edits and a client call happening behind me.' That hit hard. We spent about $2,500 last month to put up two soundproofed focus rooms and a quiet phone booth. The change in work quality in just two weeks has been huge, especially for our audio and design folks. Has anyone else found that less 'open' actually works better for creative focus?
