STRAYLIFE

Its official: Straylight is on the ground and running within New Zealand’s largest Mecca. It might only be a small team weighing in at less than 100kg (including all computer peripherals and probably the desk too) but it’s not the size that counts… its how you use it. We hope to be expanding this one man show into a full, possibly design-based team in the not too distant future, so stay posted.

Presently and temporarily we’re hot-steppin’ it in the International Centre for Entrepreneurship (aka the Icehouse.) It is an open-plan office space that is full of similarly positioned ventures, all of which have global domination in their sights.

Straylight’s ethos of Meaningful Play has been well received throughout the office so I’d imagine that we are going to fit in quite well. Now that we are set up we are just working through a few teething issues but they are nothing a bit of technology and ingenuity can’t fix.

I know you are all interested in how the move from Dunedin to Auckland went. So in order to save the time of me telling you, I compiled a short montage of how I managed to cram my life into the back of a station wagon and drive 1353km in 17.52 hours:

Hayden’s Auckland tip of the episode: Always carry an umbrella with you to work. You never know when liquid sunshine might happen.
