calling all designers.
How many times have you thought:
“How do I think outside the box?”
Design thinking, the mindset behind any great product, is rarely taught in K–8 classrooms. Kids grow up not knowing they can solve problems with creative and original solutions.
I want to change this.
Together, we can build a community of young thinkers, a powerful cohort bringing design thinking to schools through workbooks, workshops, and inspiration.
how can we do this?
connect
brainstorm
Form a community of designers — product, industrial, UX/UI — and get to know each other.
Collaborate to break design thinking into fun, bite-sized ideas that kids can grasp.
create
educate
Spark creativity, lead hands-on sessions, and get kids thinking like problem-solvers.
Use our own design skills to turn those ideas into real, shareable resources.
why “the bloom”?
In nature, a bloom is a gathering of jellyfish, fluid creatures that drift together in quiet rhythm. And yes, the jellyfish is our mascot!
For us, the bloom carries the same vibe: individual designers moving together, adapting, and creating with flow.
In reality, the bloom is more than a name. It’s a metaphor for how design thinking can live and grow within our community; alive, connected, and always in motion.

Hi, I’m Vinita!
I am a sophomore at Beckman High School in Southern California with a keen interest in product and industrial design. I am really looking forward to building a community of like-minded high schoolers while inspiring the next generation of designers!
