Chris Grimley | OverUnder

I had the pleasure of visiting Chris at his OverUnder studio the Friday before the Labor Day weekend. While the rest of the staff headed off to enjoy the long weekend, Chris was busy working on various projects. Luckily, he carved out a little time for me. As stated on their website, The OverUnder studios, “design experiences and create environments.” Chris shared with me the realities of running a small studio and the patience required with some projects. An example of this is the proposed ArtFarm, a “self-sustaining art and urban agriculture laboratory designed to foster community engagement and creativity” in Somerville. This project has been developing over the course of six years and it’s looking like 2020 might just be the year that it comes to fruition! His family lives in Boston and his wife also designs experiences and creates environments for kids. She started a creative kids space in the South End called Minni.
