" summary

Built an interactive Idea House in Figma and FigJam that hosts note‑taking, meditative pools, a library and an ideation station; 170 attendees enter, 70+ ideas generated, the top 10 pitch for a $200 pitching prize. Rapid iteration wins buy‑in: stakeholders almost scrap it, two usability tests move scores 6→8, fixes for wayfinding and translated looms launch in 24 hours, and the space becomes a lasting ritual and favorite part of the conference.
