We recently moved into our new digs in San Francisco and decided it was time to make the place feel more like home. It was time for a Make-a-thon.

That’s what we call an all-night creativity fest, when we pinployees work on something outside our day jobs - maybe it’s decking out our new space, collaborating on a creative project we’ve been mulling over, or building a feature that’s been on our wish list.

It’s the perfect time for an engineer to rope in a designer for input, or for a designer to find an engineer to help build an idea. It’s also a fun excuse to play with spray paint, washi tape, and construction paper with a little help from Pinterest.

We spent all night dreaming up things that we hope will make pinning even better, so stay tuned for more new features over the next few months.

Meanwhile, check out how we spiffed up the place and made it feel more Pinteresty!
