At Miro’s 2023 Distributed Conference, Jon and Hilary discussed combining AI and human skills in product development. Over 300 attendees participated in five tasks demonstrating this integration. The session’s grid design drew inspiration from “Tron,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” guiding the exploration of future possibilities.

This educational session walked participants through the challenges and benefits to employee onboarding, highlighting the success of an experiential onboarding we built for a local not-for-profit. The topographical map design supports the theme of exploration, and the coastline is an amalgamation of Hilary and Jon’s childhood homes in British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

Classroom Champions, a Calgary not-for-profit, faced a busy expansion year, necessitating efficient onboarding for new hires. Hiro Studio developed an onboarding program with essential information and interactive elements for mutual learning between the organization and new employees. Reflecting their focus on connecting athlete mentors with classrooms, the program features a sports field design and team cards.

At the inaugural Quarterback Talks event, this educational experience focused on flow, visual storytelling, and how design engaging Miro experiences. Several tips and tricks were shared, as well as resources that Hiro Studio utilizes to make our creations come to life. To match the theme of the event, this football field design was created and broken up in to four parts, with clear flow identified by lines and arrows straight out of a coaches playbook.

To celebrate the Miroverse, Miro’s community driven template library, Jon and Hilary presented at the Into the Miroverse 2023 event. In this session, we walked an audience of nearly 400 individuals through a session on how visual storytelling is essential to creating impactful experiences. This design is an homage to the 8-bit games of our youth, with biomes ranging from lava and ice caves, underwater adventures and lagoons, to tree tops and the clouds above.

To support a Manager offsite retreat, this Miro experience was designed to connect managers scattered across North America. This isometric map was built to house common documents, presentations, communications and other resources. Each department received a unique design for their content, all surrounding a central lodge and games room. This design instills a sense of community and belonging, while recognizing each area’s unique identity.
