We spend our days strategizing, designing, coding, and generally trying to look like we know what we’re talking about on video calls. But if you ask our families to describe what we do, you get answers that are brutally honest, only partially wrong, and way more interesting than our actual résumés. Time to update some LinkedIn bios.
Tristan: “I don’t know…make art.”
Addison: “You’re art director at FoxFuel”
Erica: “But what do I do?”
::blank stares::
Elsa: “You build websites. But also, you wait til everyone else is gone, then you load the dishwasher too.”
August, age 7: “You make videos…For the world”
Addi: “And what is my job title?”
August: “Are you called a Coworker? I like you as a director, and The Boss!”
Isabel, age 9: “You make art and create logos and take notes. And…you take notes of logos and draw things.”
Ivey, age 7: “Paint?”
Scott: “What else?”
Ivey: “Work and work and work…or you will get fired.”
Scott: “What’s my job title?”
Ivey: “Mr. Scott? I mean…Mr. Lawrence?”
Maggie, age 3: “He talks a lot, sometimes to other people, and somehow a website happens at some point.”
Drew’s wife, Angela: “Well, you’ve made a lot of sliders.”
Drew’s cats, collectively: “Meeyow”
