Our first year as a business has flown by in the blink of an eye. We started We Less Than Three after making the long trek from California to New York. The move itself was liberating and the inspiration provided by New York City has been limitless. One of the contributing factors to our success and drive to continue has been our connection to 3rd Ward.

The first time we entered the building we knew it was meant to be, attending one of their many ongoing and special events. We came for their Moviehouse night, where once a month they feature a film/multimedia design project, usually accompanied by a cooler full of Colt 45.  We were amazed that in the middle of warehouses, empty lots, and even an abandoned rail road track, their stood this shining beacon of creative light. We came in the following weekend for a tour of the full facilities. It took one look at the media lab and their lovely iMacs, and we were sold. Of course,  it didn’t hurt that along with an annual membership, you also get a nifty green bike, custom designed for 3rd Ward by NYC Bikes to tool around town on.

Fast forward 6 months, they’ve added even more. A free Intelligentsia coffee bar to keep the caffeine pumping through long days of work, a brand NEW media lab, and renovations to the space that we thought couldn’t be more perfect (we were wrong, it’s only gotten better). We were lucky enough to have our photo featured in their Summer 2010 magazine, which is what prompted us to write this little love note about them in the first place. It’s something we should have done long ago, but as we’ve said before, better late than never.
