100-Day Project: Midway Celebration

In celebration of the halfway point of the 100-Day Project with Elle Luna, this short feature highlights the experiences of six project participants, who open up about why they decided to join, the inspiration behind their projects, and what they’ve learned about the creative process so far. Need a creative kickstart? Read on and ask what you could do with 100 days of making—it’s never too late to start.

Elle Luna: 100-Day Project

When we interviewed Elle Luna in October 2013, she had recently left her day job to dive into painting full-time. Prior to that, she had helped design Mailbox’s iPhone app, redesign Uber’s iOS app, and scale the storytelling platform, Medium; before startups, she spent five years at IDEO. The TGD alum has continued to make art and speak about her journey—and she’s written her first book due out this spring. Now, she’s working on an exciting new project, and she wants you to get involved.

Jessica & Timothy

In July 2013, Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman launched 40 Days of Dating, the relationship experiment that went viral—it has now drawn over ten million unique visitors to the site! The project is back with 40 Days of Dating: An Experiment, a 304-page book packed with illustrations, photographs, and new material from Timothy and Jessica. We caught up with the TGD alum to talk about their biggest lessons from 40 Days and what’s next for each of them.
