Start a project

One year of the four-day week

What happened to our work, our clients and our team when we stopped working Fridays.

Twelve months ago we moved the whole studio to a four-day week on full pay. Here is what we learned.

The work got better

Fewer meetings, more focus. Our average project now finishes four days earlier than it did before.

Clients barely noticed

We kept one person on call every Friday for emergencies. In a year, they were needed eleven times.

Rested designers make braver work.

Hiring became easier

Applications for our open roles tripled, and nobody has left the studio since we made the switch.
