Daemien_Interview2


 * Daemien**: First, may I ask if you two have met outside of SL or is your relationship strictly virtual/business related?
 * Granite Outlander**: We have not met in person, no. But we do communicate outside of Second Life.
 * kande Knox**: We have only met virtual and are business co-creators and real friends
 * Daemien**: How did you both meet in second life? Is there a story?
 * Granite Outlander**: Kande you answer that one.
 * kande Knox**: Just out and about and we discovered we had the same visions for creating and both invested in co creation. Gran’ is a better builder, and I am a master texturer.
 * Daemien**: Has it always been a partnership?
 * kande Knox**: No we just found our work together inspiring.
 * Granite Outlander**: We tend to share a similar vision in creation.
 * Daemien**: What is it about SL that makes you want to do this? Would you consider the same profession in RL?
 * kande Knox**: It’s the artistic limitlessness that we can supply and fulfill dreams and broaden our own learning in the process.
 * Granite Outlander**: I personally brought my RL profession into Second Life. Initially, I sought Second Life as an extension and marketing tool for my real life businesses. Since coming into second life, I have done business here nearly exclusively. I am a trained designer in RL. So i have been in the business of furniture building in design for several years, along with a business that organizes garages.
 * kande Knox**: We also have some huge plans for summer.
 * Daemien**: Oh? Care to share?
 * kande Knox**: We plan on something that captures love, dating, homes, weddings, and family life here; a one-stop community. People date, marry, and nest. All of these thing pull from a huge knowledge base of building; texturing, scripting, animating, terra-forming. We make dreams reality.
 * Daemien**: From garages to weddings, I like it.
 * Granite Outlander**: They are not far off if you think about it. In the organizational business I am always dealing with the dynamics of real life relationships.
 * Daemien**: What kind of framework would you plan to establish to attempt to bring a family structure to SL?
 * kande Knox**: There are family structures in Second Life. Most here create the family they desire.
 * kande Knox**: We base our work on respect and honor.
 * Daemien**: How so?
 * kande Knox**: The ability to create what people dream of. To me, respect and customer service and knowledge are paramount. We don’t do generic, we do custom. We talk to the clients, get inside their heads, and work with them as a team to provide what they imagine.
 * Daemien**: That's always important.
 * Granite Outlander**: I agree, things here are and should always be easier to come by for people here. And we are facilitators, along with creators. And though we may not be physically standing in a castle at the moment our creative expertise can help the Second Life user feel they are really in this environment.
