Creatively keeping momentum moving forward even during a pandemic.

We are The Workmans! More specifically, Alex, Chelsea, Keegan, and Oliver Workman! We are a husband and wife creative team in Tallahassee, FL and in this crazy season, we really wanted to do something creative that could put smiles on peoples faces and “poke fun” at the strange times the world is living in and the adjustments everyone has had to make (without being disrespectful of the severity of this virus). So we came up with a concept…

COVIDwear. Business on the top. Quarantine on the bottom.

We created a series of portraits of people dressed in business wear from waist up and dressed for quarantine in PJs/workout clothes/loungewear/boxers on the bottom. Participants played up their character as much as they felt comfortable. We wanted to portray what’s probably happening out of the frame on a ZOOM call.

The webinar will discuss reevaluating and reconfiguring where and how we work. We will also discuss important Post-Covid safety measures that should be considered for your office space.
