Hans Designs

You can find us at 84, Market Yard. It’s a lively place to be, especially in the mornings when all the trucks are coming in with supplies. At Hans Designs, we spend a lot of our time sitting at desks with sketches spread out everywhere. Our office isn't very large, and it's often a bit messy with paper and pens. We like it that way because it feels like work is actually happening. We talk about shapes and sizes all day long. Sometimes we disagree on where a line should go, but we usually figure it out over a cup of coffee. The market yard is always full of noise, which we’ve grown to appreciate. It keeps us awake. We don't have any big philosophy about design. We just look at what needs to be done and try to draw something that makes sense. People stop by to see how their projects are looking, and we show them what we've been working on. It’s a lot of staring at screens and tweaking small details until they look right. Our chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job. We’ve been here for a while and have seen the market change over the years. It’s a good spot for a small business like ours. We just keep our heads down, do the drawings, and try to stay on top of the pile of work on our desks.
