The Analog Antidote

In a digital world, a designer finds balance in a garage sanctuary that brings his creativity back to earth.

West Denver, CO | November 4, 2025

In a world of pixels, creatives, and UI design, sometimes you need a space that’s real. Something tactile. A space you can touch, smell, and feel.

For Shaz, co-founder of the design and creative talent firm The Supply, life is spent curating and connecting makers online. A curated roster of elite creatives. It’s a world of clean lines, creative code, stunning motion, and intangible products that live on a screen. But when the laptop closes, the real world comes to life in a garage that serves as the perfect analog respite, and more importantly, a space to pass on a legacy. It's here his kids learn how to create, fix, and use their hands.

“This is a place where I can do for my kids what my dad did for me - teach them the way of the garage.”

This space is not a showroom, but a physical manifestation of a multi-faceted creative mind. It’s a studio for ideating and prototyping, a workshop for motorcycles, and a fabrication space for wood and welding projects. The current project? A perimeter fence for the entire property. While the inspiration for the space may come from "winging it" and the nostalgic knick-knacks from old mountain town bars, the result is a space with a clear point of view. It’s a testament to a life spent appreciating both form and function, whether it’s in a digital interface or a well worn tool.

But this isn't just a place for solitary work. In the summer, it transforms into a living room for friends, a game of darts, and even the occasional skateboard session. It's a trusted space, known for enlightening conversations and therapeutic discussions, a place to safely share. It’s also a personal gallery, adorned with collected vintage banners, gritty garage-themed objects, and pieces from admired local artist Jack Ludlam. For Shaz, the garage is a vital creative outlet. "It's almost like having a blank canvas to myself," he notes, a place to have full reign on design, an itch that is difficult to scratch when collaborating with others.

From custom Triumph and Royal Enfield scramblers to vintage BSAs and single-speed bicycles, the projects that come out of this garage are as varied as the space itself. It’s a reminder that the best ideas are often born from a connection to real, honest, and well-crafted things. This is a space that proves that behind every great digital creator, there’s an analog soul.
