For this Lab, I kicked off something new which was a Lunch & Learn series! The idea is simple: a casual 30-minute space where I get to share design concepts, experiments, or random ideas I’ve been playing around with! I realized that in both work and personal life, I experiment a lot but don’t always have a space to talk about it. So now, instead of keeping it all in my head, I get to bring it to the table and share with the team and others at my workspace!
The first session was called “I’m Tired, But Let’s Make Stuff Anyway.” I thought it was the perfect starting point because, let’s be real, not every day is filled with energy or instant inspiration. Sometimes you want to create but you’re not sure where to begin. This talk was about how to shift into a playful mindset, even when you feel stuck or drained.
During the session, I shared some ways I personally get unstuck, like lowering the pressure, playing with ideas, or trying tools that make the process feel less serious and more fun! It was less about polished outcomes and more about reminding ourselves that creativity can come from messy starts. The key is just to begin, even if it’s small.
The Lunch & Learn series is meant to be easygoing, experimental, and a reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth sharing. The first talk set the tone: keep it light, keep it fun, and don’t be afraid to make stuff even when you’re not “in the zone.” I’m excited to see where future sessions go and what other experiments we’ll get into together. You can also see session on my experimentation webflow site tutorial.tv!
