About us
The Thinking Hut is the new and fresh creative co-working space in Amsterdam. These 500sqm once filled with horses have been renovated to re-open doors to a collaborative work environment where different people (entrepreneurs, freelancers, zzp-ers, designers, writers, web developers, marketing minds, account and project managers, ...) can feel comfortable working on their own projects, while having the possibility of sharing, engaging and in essence, creating together with others.
With memberships suited to all needs, meeting facilities, a quickly filling agenda of events and workshops, and a very flexible mentality, The Thinking Hut aspires to become a creative network for those working at the space, their friends, and colleagues.
How did it all start?
The Thinking Hut is the materialized dream of a group of friends who go a long way (before the days of the internet bubble, and its burst). Their relationship has always circled around a common, shared space. During the Christmas of 2012, due to a shortage of square meters for one of our own projects, we decided to take the search for a new space to the next level, opening up an environment where more like-minded people could share their knowledge and experience, and have some fun!

Workshop: Think like a traveler to tell better product stories - Traveltoons
Have you noticed how traveling brings you a high sense of awareness? When you travel, you pay much more attention to details. You notice people's gestures and spot more opportunities when everything feels different and new. This feeling makes you more creative and empathic. But once you're back home, the feeling fades. How can we think like a traveler on a day-to-day basis?
As Marcel Proust said, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.” In this workshop, you will learn to experience products and services from the perspective of different users. This will allow you to create more fullfilling experiences for your customers and to satisfy their needs better through an empathic approach.
What will you get?
About the instructor: I'm a nerd traveler and design consultant from Mexico City. I created @mytraveltoons, an illustrated travel guide where I share my experiences, learnings and travel fails. Professionally, I’ve led design thinking workshops with companies, entrepreneurs and students for almost a decade. After years of telling travel stories, I've combined my passions to help entrepreneurs to visualize their products and services as fullfiling journeys for users they might not have considered.
This workshop takes inspiration from Tom Kelley's speech about "Thinking like a traveler" to be an innovator. Learn more about Mytraveltoons in: mytraveltoons.com
When: Monday, 29th April 2019
Time: 6.30-9pm
Where: The Thinking Hut Oost (Mauritskade 55C)
