This is the first blog post in a series that follows CaraGreen's own Damon Dillon on his adventure into #vanlife. Dubbed "Project Vandemic" for the era that called for such an intensive DIY undertaking, this transformation story is also being documented on CaraGreen's YouTube channel.

So what features make Fitwel stand out now? And why should you consider Fitwel for your next design strategy?
With plexiglass dividers, masks and social distancing requirements essential for all future educational settings, major changes to the classroom dynamic lay ahead.

Quarantine brought the classroom a little closer to home. So I transformed my office into a homeschool haven.
We own our own ecosystem right now. Companies have become virtual collections of their individual ecosystems. We are the sum of our parts. We are Damon’s kitchen, Kristine’s couch, Maddie’s office, and Rob’s homemade co-working space.
So too are our customers. These spaces accommodate what we actually are working with. Designers have room for the samples that WILL be used in their projects, not those they may have a use for someday.
