Tools of the Trade

Tools of the Trade

A series of short portraits featuring subjects discussing their line of work and the tools they can’t live without. Across a wide cross-section of skill-sets and vocations, these vignettes are unified by the theme of tools (read: products) as connectors between users and tasks by presenting narratives that speak to how these tools make users feel rather than simply how they function.
