Softmacc Designs

If you’re looking for us, we’re down Panchala Siddappa Lane, off Bajirao Road, at 1st Cross 12. It can be a little hard to find the first time because the lane is quite narrow. Once you get inside, it’s a typical design space. We have large monitors and drawing tablets scattered around. We do design work, mostly for print and some digital stuff. The walls are covered with sketches and old posters. It’s not a corporate office at all. We play music most of the day, usually whatever the person closest to the speakers wants to hear. There are five of us here. We don’t wear suits or anything like that; jeans and t-shirts are the standard. The building is older, so it has some character, like the high ceilings and the wooden window frames. We get a lot of natural light in the mornings, which is nice for working. Bajirao Road is always buzzing, but our little lane stays relatively quiet. We spend a lot of time arguing over colors and fonts. It’s just how we work. We don’t have a big reception area, just a couple of chairs near the entrance for visitors. Usually, we're all too busy staring at our screens to notice someone walking in right away. It’s a cozy place and we’ve made it our own over the years. We keep a stash of biscuits in the drawer for when things get stressful. It’s a simple, functional space for us.
