Today we start the new website and, first of all, I would like to tell you something that I think is important to understand the project. Something about Jaime © is a brand created based on the ability (skill) to draw of Jaime, an adult with ASD. His disorder prevents him from leading an independent life but also allows him to see things differently, freely and without prejudice.
The brand Something about Jaime © is managed by Notre Lab, SL, a family business (owned by Jaime's family). Notre Lab is a company like any other; it is not considered a social economy company and does not receive any aid or subsidy.
We believe in Jaime and in the potential of his work and we support him as we would any other designer… but Jaime is something peculiar. He doesn’t work 8 hours from Monday to Friday, nor is he capable of taking orders or commissions. He does what he wants and when he wants, what we do is to value his work and generate from it. Not only for people with disabilities, but for everyone the environment is hostile. Perhaps for those who, like Jaime, do not have the resources to face it, it is something more hostile. That is why our approach is based on adapting the environment to Jaime and not the other way around. Everything starts with Jaime, and the rest of us contribute what is needed.JavierMarch 30, 2019
