Familiar Faces

Love the boots, Percy!

This week I finally got to drop in on Katherine B. and her son Percy to see how they are getting along.

Katherine, who was working at home before this crisis began, says things haven’t changed that much for her family, although Percy has not been going to daycare so I’m sure that makes working a bit more challenging.

Katherine works for a small company called Dovecot Studio, which specializes in “boutique information architecture”. I’m not going to pretend to fully understand what they do, but it has to do with ordering information - on websites but also in other settings - to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for. Katherine’s specialty is taxonomies, which means grouping things. As it says on the Dovecot website,

A visitor brought a hand-me-down toy that Katherine says he played with for hours:)

“we’re excited to help you detangle the mess and create some order.”
