Moxy Productions Inc.

And we’ve just moved into a Rock Opera.

It may be only a few miles down the road, but it feels like light years away–MOXY has taken residence in it’s new digs in Clarkson!

Ominously located over the recently defunct Momentum Fitness, once venue for the short-lived The Rock fitness/climbing club, and originally a cold storage warehouse, the place comes complete with a Seizure Order on the door for whatever venture starts on the main and second floors. But up on the third, it’s another world.

The studio space above boasts a couple of design firms and technology companies, and notably a very cool company called Think that has been creating great print and marketing for a number of years here in South Mississauga. Owned and operated by Jeff Stephens, it’s a company with a lot in common with MOXY, as well as some key complementary differences. With some changes underway they were able to make room for us in their space, and this is where it gets great…

Getting to the office requires humping up three flights of concrete stairs but, as always, a bit of leg work pays off. Overlooking parkland and green space, the environment exudes creativity. The ceilings are high, the windows are huge and the view is nothing but acres of ball diamonds, soccer fields and trees. And then every so often, like a reminder of commerce to the day-dreaming designer, a commuter train wends it’s way through the tableau. It’s like something from a dream.

Recently, the building has sold. No one knows what’s going to happen next or how long this reverie will last. But we’ll basque in it while it does.

It also seemed to be an appropriate time to launch the redesign of MOXY. We call this Clarkson. Hope you like it.
