Joshua Hirsch
Session
Summer Fridays
Doing creative work for clients all day every day is a good way to burn out quickly, even if the work is sexy. This summer, we implemeted a Friday afternoon ban on client work at Big Spaceship, devoting that time to a number of internal projects.
Ideas for projects can be submitted by anyone on the crew, and vary from websites, to physical creations, to mobile apps, to whatever. Not only does this keep the crew energized, but it is a great way to learn new techniques, step out of our comfort zone, and broaden our capabilities. All of these benefits feed directly into the growth of each crew member and the company.
In this session, Josh will talk about some of the process and philosophy around idea collection and execution of these projects, while showing examples of recent internal work. Keep it simple, prototype, experiment, iterate, its ok to fail, have fun with it.
