Long before remote work became routine, Quirky Kid designer Lisa took her role on the road, working through Far North Queensland while continuing to contribute to the team and to the development of Basecamp®.
This From Us story captures a more personal side of Quirky Kid: the people behind the programs, the different ways creative work happens and the trust required in a small team.
Taking creative work outside the office
After several years of office-based design work, Lisa wanted more space, travel and warm weather without stepping away from the work she enjoyed. With Quirky Kid’s support, she continued working remotely while travelling north, joining meetings by video, sharing files online and staying connected with the team.
At the time, this was an unusual working arrangement. For Lisa, the change of environment also became part of the creative process.
Basecamp® on the road
One of the projects Lisa worked on during the trip was Basecamp®, Quirky Kid’s child anxiety program.
She later reflected that some of her favourite sections of the book were created while working from balconies and rainforest settings in Far North Queensland. Whether the setting changed the work or simply changed how the work felt, the experience became part of the story behind the finished publication.
