"What would your ideal office look like? From on-demand childcare to pets in the office, the workplace is up for a total reimagining." I was commissioned by the Washington Post to do a few illustrations for a Lily Lines newsletter article about returning to the office and redesigning the working space.

" I would put in skylights. After spending the last year next to a window in my home office, it will be very difficult to go back to a windowless cubicle full-time. I spent 11 years before the pandemic working without a window. This was the first year in forever that my vitamin D levels were not dangerously low. Natural light makes me so happy. "​​​​​​​
" More plants, windows and fresh air. While I am grateful to have a dedicated space for speech therapy treatment sessions in a school setting (where speech therapists often share or are not given proper offices),  I’d love a window in a non-basement location — with plants, which I’m planning to bring anyway. "
" Pets 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 office. "
