Patrice Tanaka, CEO & Creative Director of PT&Co, has a unique philosophy when it comes to running a business. She believes that the workplace, like individuals, has a soul, and that it should be nurtured. To nurture her own agency, she has created an office environment specifically designed to take the drudgery out of work to make the office a pleasant place to be for employees. Her techniques are definitely unique, some say revolutionary. Her office has a living room, where employees can gather to chat, and a meditation room, where workers can go to escape momentarily from their hectic jobs. She also has gone to great pains to make the office visually appealing to the eye through the use of space, light, colors, flowers. Here, Tanaka talks with Editor-in-Chief Adam Shell about her progressive, new age work environment.
