101 Creative Consultancy

We’re over at No 3 Pradeep House in Chennai. The name on the door says 101 Creative Consultancy. It’s a bit of a mixed bag here. We do all sorts of creative work, from design to just helping people think through their ideas. Chennai can be incredibly hot, so the fans are always spinning in the office. Pradeep House is an older building, which gives it a bit of character, I suppose. The walls are covered in sketches and notes from old projects. We don’t really clean up the creative mess until a project is completely done. It’s just how we work. There are three of us mostly, sitting around a big wooden table that we’ve had since the start. It’s not a corporate agency with a receptionist and a coffee machine. We make our own tea and answer our own phones. People come to us when they have a problem they can’t quite solve on their own. We don't have a specific way of doing things, every day is a bit different. Sometimes we’re busy for weeks, and other times it’s quiet enough to actually hear the traffic outside. We like the freedom of being small. It means we can pick what we want to work on. It’s just a simple room in Tamil Nadu 600043 where we try to make things look and work better for the people who ask.
