Headspace, the influential mindfulness app based in Santa Monica, hosted all of Da Vinci Design's teachers in January. Teachers toured the open air office space at Bergamot station and learned about the intentional design that went into its creation. Melissa Mock, one of Headspace's recruiters, also spoke with teachers about what they are looking for in new hires and gaps she sees in candidates.
Design teachers joined the entire Headspace team at 10am for "10 at 10", their office-wide 10 minute meditation. Teachers also explored the meditation pods and phone booths (for private conference calls) while generating new ideas to bring back to students.
In the afternoon, teachers broke out into conference rooms - including one with a swings! - to plan their projects for the upcoming semester. "The space was so inspiring as we were planning our projects. It was fun to see the new type of office space and careers!" shared one Design teacher.
