From the course: Creative Inspirations: Hot Studio, Experience Design

Sources of inspiration

Rajan Dev: I stay inspired and in fact not only do I stay inspired, I become progressively more inspired every day I work here. Michael Polivka: I will start with what inspires me here in the office and it really is the relationships that I have with the people here. Henrik Olsen: My colleagues here at Hot Studio, there is -- it's a constant conversation going on all day up there. Renee Anderson: The things that inspire me are making sure that I can grow in that supporting role. Katrina Alcorn: I think working in a company with really smart people, I just love that. There is always great discussions going on and over lunch or just people yelling across each others' desks, hey, come look at this. Henrik Olsen: Have you seen this new site, have you seen what's going on there, look what this new technology can do. And we're constantly feeding off of each other. Michael Polivka: I can be myself, people around me can be themselves and we can all do the things that we really like to do and be candid about the things that are upsetting us or bothering us or demotivating to us. Henrik Olsen: Spending an afternoon at SFMOMA, going in there and seeing their different kinds of images and colors and compositions and seeing how things come together, that gets inspiring. Katrina Alcorn: When we have a new client that's in an industry that we are not familiar with, we like to really immerse ourselves in that, in their world. Rajan Dev: The mix of clients, the mix of challenges and the overall environment that we have created here, which is really a learning environment. I have never worked in a better place and just get more inspired everyday. I love it here.
