“I will never forget also that HDC gave me the opportunity to find solutions and not sit on the problems. It was always encouraged to find a way to make it work. ”
I have a lot of good memories about Haiti Design co! I am going to share my favorite ones. At HDC we always had something going on besides making beautiful products.
My first memory was on the rooftop not only when we were receiving teams there but we were having social training for the staff. So many great things happened on that rooftop: the birthday parties, the training, English classes etc . Those moments were so important because they are rare in workspaces in Haiti.
Another good memory was in the manager meeting, I believe it was always on a Monday, until this day I remember those meetings and one of the frequently asked questions were : kisa w'ap kenbe kisa w'ap lage? what are you holding on to what are going to let go of.
I can also talk about the challenge that the artisans used to overcome by creating beautiful things. I remember when they came to the workshop either to receive others or to get paid. I can remember fighting with the artisans to respect deadlines, patterns… I can laugh about that today but at the end of day we always found a way to solve issues.
I will never forget also that HDC gave me the opportunity to find solutions ( pa chita sou problèm) and not sit on the problems. It was always encouraged to find a way to make it work.
