WeLLDesign supported working from home already before the corona crisis.

Working from home is for WeLLDesign a fact for over a month now. Luckily, WeLLDesign supported working from home and flexible working hours already before the corona crisis. Therefore, this adaptation was easy to make. Although we miss the cooperation in the studio, all projects can keep on going. Consulting and discussions are held digitally. When prototyping needs to occur in the Workspace or execute assembly and tests in our lab, we keep the one and a half meters distance

Bram van der Veen can still prototype safely in our labOur interns could still progress. Even though they missed the special atmosphere that comes with doing an intern at a company.
