Description

The Design Gym is a creative agency that empowers people inside of organizations to break things, make things, and create dramatically better ways to work.

We run a wide variety of classes and workshops on creativity, collaboration, and innovation. We connect our diverse community of learners with real companies to help them tackle their toughest challenges. 

We believe:
  • Everyone should be passionate about the work they do. They should be empowered to reimagine how the world they live in could be better, for themselves and their company.
  • Work should be both independent and collaborative; quantitative and qualitative; visual and emotional; provocative yet actionable.
  • The foundation of organizations should be in the needs of the people it’s serving. Only once those are understood can strategic decisions be made.
  • Ideas should live and breathe. Then they should be prototyped, shot down, and remade so that they can live again. And anyone (yes anyone!) can come up with the next great one.
  • Businesses will very soon start relying on communities to solve their biggest problems and plan their futures. Those communities will exist both within and outside the walls of the company.

    This was a great introduction to design thinking. Really hands-on focused workshop where you get to practice the steps rather than just learning the theory. These types of exercises can typically be nerve wracking to do with strangers, but our instructor, Tim, not only explained the concepts well but made everyone feel really comfortable. Obviously you won’t master design thinking in these three hours, but thought this was a great place to start.

    Great participatory class! The design thinking process was well articulated. I left with some tools to use for design thinking and a clear understanding of its uses. I thought the class was informative, fun and well paced.

  • Facilitation Fundamentals

    This class offered a very basic overview of facilitation. I would have liked more hands-on practice and a more in-depth overview of specific tools that can be used in different situations.

    Interactive format; various group and solo exercises to give practical examples. A good introduction to a problem-solving framework. As an art director I was already familiar with the process, but it was still helpful to see the process formalized. Oh and they had beer.

    I enjoyed the concepts explored but felt that anyone with any brainstorming experience may do better to join the day long training. This is too cursory.

    Fun and very interactive. You'll want to come with an idea in mind (ex. a product or event) to get the most out of the class.
