OFFICIAL YEAR TWO @ Yung Studio!

To wrap up this year, what if I share a few studio processes we explored and liked?

More threads, less meetings
We have been bringing in creatives from different countries or backgrounds to add a more unbiased, global view of the work we do. We are doing fewer team meetings and more 1:1 Slack (opens in new tab) huddles and project channels to combat insane time zones.

Automate non-creative work
We use AI in our design process like OpenAI (opens in new tab) and Midjourney (opens in new tab) for rough style definition and grammar check, and Read AI (opens in new tab) for meeting recaps. We will continue to explore more non-creative, admin automation for efficiency.

Make on-boarding & collaboration easy
As we bring in new teammates and partners/clients for different projects, we made on-boarding easier with 1 tracker doc & 1 comm channel for each project. All design collaboration actions are on Figma (opens in new tab), including explorations, presentation, guidelines creation. So far so good.

Thank you all our team members and partners that made 2023 so special...Devon (opens in new tab), Yu (opens in new tab), Caleb (opens in new tab), Michael Q, Shelby (opens in new tab), Alli (opens in new tab), Whitt M, Helen (opens in new tab), Brandi (opens in new tab), Gabrielle (opens in new tab), Mischief (opens in new tab), Juniver (opens in new tab), Cadence (opens in new tab), AIGA San Francisco (opens in new tab), and, all other clients we signed NDA with :p

Here's to more in '24.
