Since then, her studio has worked on a variety of art installations, interiors, and a growing collection of thematic sartorial accessories called WELCOMECOMPANIONS. Regardless of the project type, they&rsquo;re all imbued with Broughton&rsquo;s own surrealistic sense of whimsical flair that has captured the attention of designers, artists, and fashionistas alike.</p> https://archinect.com/features/article/103949950/working-out-of-the-box-otaat-myers-collective Working out of the Box: Otaat / Myers Collective Amelia Taylor-Hochberg 2014-07-18T11:06:00-04:00 >2014-07-21T19:08:53-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/pc/pcgx8geddui2x2gx.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p><a href="http://archinect.com/features/tag/1149/working-out-of-the-box" target="_blank"><strong>Working out of the Box&nbsp;</strong></a>is a series of features presenting architects who have applied their architecture backgrounds to alternative career paths.</p><p>In this installment, we're talking with <a href="http://otaat.com/" target="_blank">Albert Chu</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://www.myerscollective.com/" target="_blank">Jenny Myers</a>&nbsp;of <a href="http://otaatmyerscollective.com/" target="_blank">Otaat / Myers Collective</a>.</p><p><em>Are you an architect working out of the box?
