Designing Joyful Brainstorming Experiences 🎥


Dear Reader,

Last night, Rachel Davis ran a workshop on "joyful brainstorming" with 60+ workshoppers from the Guild.

Rachel facilitated the event in Butter (which we also use for class at the Fountain Institute), and it's the perfect tool for learning better brainstorms.

Here are some of my takeaways:

  • Brainstorms are about shaping ideas, not just generating them
  • Warm-ups like the "Sunset Activity" help set the mood for creativity
  • Frameworks like Rachel's P.L.A.Y. are a great way to remix ideas

Watch the recording and re-experience joyful brainstorms below:

Also...don't miss Rachel's in-depth recap in Notion which includes all of the resources from her workshop like Miro templates and advanced learning materials on brainstorming. Thanks for sharing, Rachel! 💞

When Your Strategy Slides Hit Silence By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, I’ve shared strategy before, and watched it stall. Not because it was wrong. But because the room didn’t know what to do with it. I wasn’t looking for feedback. I wasn’t asking for approval. I was hoping they’d pick it up and run with it. Instead? Confusion. Silence. They didn’t see what I saw. Not because they didn’t care. But because I’d built the strategy, not the on-ramp they needed to step into it. It’s something I’ve...

Let's Talk about Liquid Glass by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Goodbye, paper-like design. Hello, moving blobs of liquid glass! Play button blunder from Apple Apple's new paradigm in aesthetics is both cool and potentially awful at the same time. "Rather than trying to simply re-create a material from the physical world, Liquid Glass is a new digital meta-material that dynamically bends and shapes light." -Apple Just when you thought skeuomorphism was dead, it rears its realistic head again. I...

Assumption Olympics: Why I Always Win Gold in Overreacting By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, I once pitched a new workshop format to a team of collaborators. One person nodded slowly and said, “Hmm… okay.” That was it. I smiled. Externally, totally composed. Internally? I sprinted up a mental staircase of conclusions: They don’t like it. They’re being polite. They think I’m not strategic. This was a bad idea. I’ve blown this opportunity. Maybe I’m not cut out for this work. I didn’t realize I was...
