Dear AD PRO Community,

As lockdown restrictions ease and more businesses continue the re-opening process, we are all negotiating a lot of change right now. Just a couple of days ago, I spent a full day back in the AD offices taking meetings, getting organized, and re-connecting with the space. There were just a handful of us there, and it was hardly business as usual. When it was time for our weekly staff meeting, we each retreated to our own desk—and screen—to log onto Zoom and connect with the rest of the team from their various work spots. It will be very interesting to see how things continue to evolve over the course of the summer. We at AD (and Condé Nast at large) are excited to return to our World Trade Center headquarters in early September.

Thinking along those lines, I want to draw your attention to a great piece of reporting published on AD PRO yesterday. In 4 Pandemic-Inspired Design Trends That Are Sure to Stick Around, writer David Nash canvassed a diverse array of designers and other creatives across the country to find out what changes—not involving home offices—appear to be sticking around for good. From cocktail bars to artist’s studios, personal spaces are being transformed into creative and surprising ways for people to make better use of their homes and connect with friends and family like never before, all while adding incredible value to their properties. Trust me, you’ll want to read this one before your next client meeting!

Until next week!
