Creative Pro

Up here at 79 HAL 3rd Stage, the mornings are usually the best time. The air is a bit cooler before the city really gets moving. Creative Pro is a small setup. We have our desks pushed together in a way that makes it easy to talk without shouting. The walls aren't decorated much, just a few calendars and some old notes pinned up. Being in HAL means we get a lot of people who work in the nearby offices stopping by. It’s a decent neighborhood to be in. I usually get in around nine and the first thing I do is check the machines. We have a lot of cables running across the floor, so you have to be careful where you walk. It’s not a fancy studio with designer furniture. Most of our chairs are just standard ones we’ve had for years. We spend a lot of time staring at monitors. When the power goes out, which happens sometimes, we all just go outside for a bit and stand on the sidewalk. It’s a good way to see what’s happening on the street. There’s a small shop nearby that sells the best biscuits. We go through a lot of those. It’s a simple life here. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a big lobby or fancy water features. We just focus on the stuff on our desks and try to finish everything by the time we head home.
