Project Timeline 
May 20th, 2014: I received an 
1 
Email invitation from Dogtrot 
Studios founder LK Whitney. 
The invitation vaguely 
hinted at the events purpose : 
Create a mastermind group 
Of extremely passionate and 
creative citizens with the goal 
Of developing a strategic 
Direction for the future of 
Birmingham. 
I've always been very 
intrigued by the idea of 
an organized Design Think 
Tank featuring the brightest 
minds in Birmingham. I 
jumped at the chance to 
2 
take part in the experiment. 3 June 5th,2014 : An email was 
received from Dogtrot which 
described the experiment and 
explained our role as 
Participants.

Later the same day, 
I received a facebook Invite 
to the event,as well as an 
invitation to join a private 
online group.

The Idea Factory 
Dogtrot rented a historic home in Avondale. 
This is where we gathered to brainstorm 
and create from June 28th,2014 at 12p.m. 
Til 12p.m. Sunday. They stocked the house 
with plenty of coffee, Red Bull, candy, 
peanut butter, pizza and beer. A Design 
magazine was never too far from 
reach and motivational quotes were 
pasted all over the basement walls. The 
house had been transformed into an Idea 
Factory. The creative energy was seen and 
felt throughout, and inspired all 
who entered.
