🎫 Golden Ticket WINNER

Thank you to everyone who submitted their spreadsheet for the golden ticket competition, granting a free spot in the first edition of the oio school. We received many submissions, all of them super-high-quality™. It was really hard to pick one among all the finalists, but in the end, we have a winner.

Massive congrats to Golden Ticket winner Radhita Jain, who built an entire interactive pixel world into Google Sheets. It's literally a video game, taking place in Puglia, as if it were run by robots.

Check out the winner announcement reel on our Instagram.

If you want to know more about Radhita's process, read out their linkedin post.

🇩🇪 See you in Berlin!

If you’re around the German capital in early September, oio’s co-founder and Design Director Matteo Loglio will be speaking at the much anticipated Hatch Conference. Described as “A gust of fresh air from all the AI FOMO”, Matteo’s talk will go through some of oio’s most recent work, while dropping some secret insights from the oio design process 👀. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

🎤 Did you miss us in Belgrade?

🎮 FTW Conference Earlier this May oio's co-founder Simone Rebaudengo attended the For The Win Conference in Belgrade, Serbia. A b2b & stakeholder conference in the game dev space.

It was the first time oio spoke in a gaming conference, and it was interesting to look at our work in the lens of game design and playfulness as a way to explore complex topics.
