Late last night, we learned we would present to a panel of judges on one of our design concepts the next morning. Only catch is that we would be doing so individually. After much anticipation, sweaty palms and rehearsing our pitches alone in the bathroom, we found out how this pitch was going to happen: SHARK TANK STYLE.
One by one, we entered the “shark tank” and pitched our design and strategy to a panel of Chicago design professionals. Six of us would be offered personal mentorships or other exciting one-on-one opportunities in the design community.
Check out our guests!
A falafel lunch followed after. These delicious meals keep getting better and better.
Based on the design feedback we received from our guests, we jumped back to work with only a few hours to prepare for our final presentation with the folks at TLC. (which turned out great!) We surprised them at the end with news that our friends at Pitchfork will be launching our TLC campaign on their website in the form of banner ads.
It’s looking like we’ll be in bed much earlier than the past few days tonight. More sleep makes for happier campers.
