For the first 10 years of its life, IDEO Chicago lived in Evanston. After a long hunt for the perfect space, and an even longer buildout, we moved into the West Loop in 2010 and became an actual Chicago studio. New to downtown, we threw a giant party to welcome our neighbors into our new digs, and introduced ourselves through a quirky Homecoming invitation that was mailed to friends, acquaintances, and clients far and wide.
