38%
shorter meetings
“We rolled it out to the whole studio. Meetings got shorter because the notes got better.”
Ethan Brooks
Founder, Halden
The challenge
Halden’s designers kept ideas in sketchbooks, chat threads and three different notes apps. Every project kickoff started with the same question: where did we write that down?
The shift
The team moved every project into shared Hushwell collections. Quick capture meant ideas from client calls landed in the right place automatically, and Ask became the first stop before any meeting.
The result
Within two months, recurring meetings were 38 percent shorter. New hires now get up to speed by reading a project’s collection instead of interrupting senior designers.
