How we work

Since the beginnig of Destinations, we have been working solely remotely using digital collaboration tools. What started out of a necessity, became the regular mode of work for us.

Altough we are working towards a common goal, we grant each other the maximum of freedom regarding the time spent working on Destinations. Working on one's own responsibilty is a key factor for each individual inside our team, while also doing our best to support each other and cultivate an open feedback culture within Destinations.

How we got here

Destinations started as the bachelor thesis by Kai Magnus and Martin in 2020 at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd. While the thesis was progressing, both of them became more and more enthusiastic about founding a company evolving around the softwares' concept. Shortly after their graduation, Johanna joined the team and the project was picked to join the goHfG network as well as winning a goHfG award.
