ThoughtShop is a body of peers, which get together to help solve or work through one-another’s creative projects. Specifically Thought Shop is designed to aid or block-bust in the ideation and creation process. During meetings I as a facilitator, have moderated discussions regarding individual design projects, guest presentations, and a production themed roundtable. ThoughtShop serves as a mechanism for the sharing of ideas, sharing of skills, and also works as a casual networking platform.
These are Excerpts from the critique portion of ThoughtShop.
Each is one min long.
