What We Dreamed Up at the Design Community Session

By Hannah Baker


Dear Reader,

Wow, what a whirlwind of inspiration we stirred up at last week's Designers' Collective Dreaming meetup!

Your passion, ideas, and stories have inspired exciting visions for the Guild of Working Designers' future.

Our meetup was not just another gathering but a hands-on exploration of what makes a design community flourish and how we can enhance it.

Through heartfelt conversations, sticky notes, and imaginative collages, we delved into the core of our designer identity.

What We Learned

You showed us that:

  • A supportive network is more than just networking; it's about meaningful connections.
  • True community spirit thrives on empathy, inclusiveness, and mutual growth.
  • Creative collaboration is critical, starting with listening to every voice, no matter how soft.

Below are a few of the collages created during our workshop. These aren't just colorful and creative; they reflect our collective dreams for what a design community can look like in the future.

Did you miss the live session or want to revisit our vibrant discussions? Check out our detailed recap below. You'll find the full recording of the workshop, all the poll results, and access to our Miro board, where all the magic happened. It's a fantastic resource for catching up on everything and seeing the detailed output of our collaborative efforts.

Staying Connected

While the participants for our follow-up sessions have been chosen, your influence extends beyond this event.

Each insight and idea you shared guides the Guild towards a more dynamic, inclusive community.

Stay tuned for updates on how your visions are taking shape, and look out for our regular newsletters, where we'll share progress, new insights, and, of course, more opportunities to make your mark in future endeavors.

I Bought a Mac Mini to Try OpenClaw, the Most Hyped AI Tool of 2026 by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, You've probably heard of OpenClaw 🦞 by now. 145,000 GitHub stars. Headlines everywhere. "The AI that actually does things." This tool is the O.G. dream of AI...automation, not slop. This was the missing piece to my automation system. I had to try it. So I bought an entry-level, 2024 M4 Mac Mini for €590 (on sale in Germany, but they're reportedly selling out in the U.S.) and spent two days trying...

Why Decisions Feel So Hard Right Nows By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Over the last few months, I’ve been talking with design and product leaders across very different organizations, large companies, smaller teams, fast-moving environments, and slower ones. And I keep hearing the same thing. Their teams are being asked to make decisions faster than ever, and yet, deciding feels heavier than it used to. Not slower, exactly. Just harder. At first, people often explain this in familiar ways: too...

When Speed Stops Being the Bottleneck by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Quick question: What happens when the thing that used to take 12 weeks now takes 4 days? I've been watching this play out across the industry, and it's wild. Lots of companies aren't sharing their new speeds, but a few are: Code and Theory (an agency that works with Microsoft and Amazon) is building dashboards in 40 minutes that used to take a week. They report cutting time-to-prototype by 75%. Coinbase reports a 2-5x increase...
