Meet Pete Till, today’s HumanOfSupport. Q: What do you do? How long have you done this? A: I'm a Product Designer at Yorkville Sound, a manufacturer of premi...um pro audio equipment. I've worked here for 13 years. Growing up, I loved to build things and loved playing drums and guitar. I'm lucky to be working at a company that I'm so passionate about. Q: How has COVID-19 changed your job? A: Like many other companies, Covid19 brought our work to a standstill. We responded to the federal government's call to industry to support the manufacture of emergency medical supplies. Soon after, we were contacted by StarFish Medical (located in Victoria, BC) to help design and manufacture a control panel for a ventilator design they were working on. Early on in the design process, one of the engineers at StarFish Medical noticed that the control panel for the ventilator looked an awful lot like an audio mixing console. He contacted his local Long and Mcquade, which forwarded the call to Yorkville. The challenge was to source components (not normally used in ventilator designs) and finish the design and manufacture of the first prototypes in a matter of weeks. This would normally take years. We immediately got to work, bringing more people into the project as we went along. Q: How are you finding joy right now? A: I always find joy in many things. It has felt very rewarding to be able to help offer some solutions during this difficult time. When at home, I have enjoyed the slower pace of life lately, which has allowed me to spend more uninterrupted time with my wife and kids. Q: What positive things are you seeing right now? A: It's amazing to see how our employees have pulled together and have done what it takes to accomplish this immense task. Many of our employees have commented how rewarding it has been to contribute to solutions during the Covid19 pandemic. It has also been exciting to see so many people and businesses change what they are doing in order to support their communities. It is during difficult times that you see the most innovation. It will be interesting to see what great innovations we will be left with after this pandemic has passed. Q: Describe a moment that has truly affected you? A: Immediately after the federal government called out to industry to help with the manufacture of emergency medical supplies, I knew our talented engineering and production staff could help. After many long days (and nights) of hard work, it was very exciting to see the first ventilator control panel come off the line. Everyone involved feels very proud.
