For years I've admired Elliot Dahl's leadership, especially how him and his teams carve out dedicated time for connection and play. Today, David Flowers, Cyris Talban and I took a page from the Elliot book and did our first "Cooldown Club" exercise where we took popular software, and designed physical software boxes for them. Cyris did Spotify which brought me back to the days of cassette tapes at Sam Goody! David did Zoom which reminded me of video camera software from the early 2000s And I took AirOps for a spin, trying out a few vintage boxed aesthetics We all used nano banana pro within FLORA then came together to share. It was such a nice break from the day to day, and a fun way to tinker with AI tools as a team. H/t to Elliot Dahl and his team at Hightouch for all the amazing inspo!
Package design was the name of the game at last week's Hightouch design team ❄️ Cooldown led by Emily Porat. 🍟 Food, 🧴lotions, 💈hair, or 🥤beverages – we picked our categories and the results were a riot! Packages by Michael Chan & Nate Argosh too!

Why should I post our team cooldown activities and not claude code to Figma? Because it's where the good times are found For this cooldown we spent 30 minutes imagining if the Olympics had cereal. Gold medals all around for this crew! Elliot Dahl, Chris Jones, Kim Pham, Levi Campbell 👉 P.S. we're hiring product designers!

Today's Hightouch ❄️ Cooldown exercise was led by Joe DeMaria! The challenge was to create a poster using only emojis to remix a movie, travel destination, or work of art. Always impressed by the creativity of this team! Can you guess what some of these are? 👀 Posters by: Joe DeMaria, Nate Argosh, Michael Chan, Levi Campbell, Dylan Mahler, and myself.
