The second annual Rocket Picnic was a blast (literally). We kicked things off with plenty of pizza and good company, then got straight to launching our custom-built water bottle rockets.

Happy Earth Day!

As designers we like to create new things that solve problems and make the world a better place. Here are a few ways we try to do our part at Rocketship:

• Designing awesome stuff that elevates the human experience. That includes considering a product’s end of life.
• Shipping with recycled boxes and padding. Don’t be surprised if a shipment of ours has someone else’s logo on it!
• Don’t throw anything away without first considering a way to use it again. We collect scraps and excess material from previous projects and try to give old products new life. Even disposable water bottles don’t go in the trash!

How do you like to care for our Earth?

Happy World Art Day!

Art isn't just something you hang on a wall — it’s the expression and voice of every great design. To celebrate World Art Day we brought the power of color into the studio with a little light, colored film, and imagination.

What will you create this World Art Day? 🌍🎨

Happy National Industrial Design Day!

We believe that good design makes all the difference and we feel lucky to be able to create something new every day. What do you want to create?

Happy New Year! It's always fun to start a new calendar. Years ago we decided to design our own which shows the year at a glance. It's helpful to plan out project schedules and track timelines when you can see everything all at once!

Twas the week before Christmas, the frost biting cold,
The furnace sat silent, neglected and old.
But up on the rooftop, beneath the blue sky,
Stood Michael, not Santa, with a twinkle in his eye.
In a bright Hawaiian shirt, and his aviators too,
He worked on the furnace, to bring warmth to the crew.

With a twist of his wrench and a chuckle so light,
The furnace roared back, filling all with delight.
“Stay warm for the holiday,” he said with a grin,
Then he vanished as quickly as he'd first entered in.
Said a voice on the breeze in the day's waning light,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a warm night.

*Either Christmas magic or AI was involved with this post :)

We've been enjoying the spectacular Autumn colors. We tried to get a timelapse of the trees losing their leaves but little did we know we'd capture a reflection of ourselves after it got dark.

Autumn has finally come! One thing we love about our studio is that we have so many windows to enjoy all of the spectacular sunsets.

Happy Halloween! Can you can guess what's going on in this video? For more background, it was an innocent prototype test we recorded a while back that turned out to look like it was part of a haunted house!

Happy Rocket Day! After a busy week at the studio the entire team and their families threw the first annual Rocket Picnic.
