Patagonia Ventura HQ


Hello! 
Fellow Nature Club member Jessica and myself took
a little camping trip down to Ventura, for some sun and 
a tour of the Patagonia headquarters!
It was wonderful to take a look at their design
process and offices and meet the employees. 
Sadly, Yvon was not around but Jeff Johnson was
on duty it seemed, roaming about and
I was happy to see someone whose work I
admire!
Yvon's old workshop was in great shape and it
was great to see the process that Patagonia goes through
to create such enduring and lasting
products. His office was open and it was nice
to see his family photos and bags of coffee
and multiple coffee mugs. 
No computer in sight!

I also forgot how much I love to camp on the beach, 
and morning runs in the surf made the 
short trip a great getaway for the weekend.

I recommend giving the headquarters a call to set up 
a sweet tour, and get yourself
some surf time!

Happy Trailing!
