Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a couple groups at Ammunition and showcasing our prototyping process! It was exciting to walk them through our approach, from foam core mockups to 3D printing and other key stages of our workflow. It’s always rewarding to share how we bring concepts to life and share that with other passionate designers.
That's right, AI hardware is in its flip-phone phase. Good conversation with Fast Company's Mark Wilson , Robert and rabbit inc.’s Jesse Lyu unpacking AI hardware’s slow start. https://lnkd.in/g2-emxGV

That was great! We recently hosted 78 University of California, Berkeley students at our studio as part of CS Kickstart UC Berkeley (CSK), a program dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology. It is an intensive one-week program designed to help incoming freshmen women explore computer science in hopes of recruiting them into the field. It was a completely enjoyable honor to host these accomplished young women, share a bit about our own careers, and show how design might play a role in theirs. Big thanks to CSK for approaching us, every one of the attendees for the thoughtfulness they brought to the day, and to Abigayle Cosinuke and LuRay Joy for taking everyone through a such a successful introduction to design and designing. #gooddesignisgoodbusiness #goodwillisgoodbusiness
TK-02 has been honored in the 2024 Fast Company’s Innovation By Design awards in both the General Excellence and Product categories. And when we say design, we mean industrial, service, UX, UI, and packaging design. So great to be honored alongside so many teams we admire in these competitive categories. Congratulations to the collective Ammunition and Terra Kaffe team! Sahand Dilmaghani, thank you for trusting and including us.
TK-02 has been recognized by the Core77 Design Awards 2024! Terra Kaffe’s mission with TK-02 was to elevate the brewing experience through thoughtful design, so it is great to have even more validation that we got there. :) Thank you for including us in bringing TK-02 to life and achieving your goal of better coffee by design!

What drives creative people to display a maniacal commitment in the pursuit of their ideas, dreams, and, ultimately, creative excellence? That was the big question we explored last week during our creative salon at Ammunition HQ in San Francisco. The evening featured a conversation between Ammunition founder Robert Brunner and Terra Kaffe dounder Sahand Dilmaghani, moderated by Creative Factor editor Matt McCue And what a night it was! The event was Creative Factor’s first West Coast salon, which it co-hosted with Ammunition. These gatherings of designers, storytellers, entrepreneurs, architects, and artists offer the chance to discuss the biggest issues creative professionals face today. Those in attendance included creative leaders from Apple, Google, Meta, Gensler, Stanford, and more. Many guests have launched and run their own companies. We've got the full recap, with both Robert and Sahand's insights, right this way... https://lnkd.in/dqgAwg-i
