OAKLAND, Calif. — “Can I show you my lab?” Bryant Terry asked before walking to a shed in his sunny, compact backyard.

It’s here that Mr. Terry, 47, has worked for the past year or so, taking calls and Zoom meetings. This lab, which functions as both home office and creative space, is meant to keep him inspired.
