About this Event

New year, new books ✨
Join our quarterly book club on Sunday, May 17 | 4–6pm at Turnstile with Good Job: Designing Interviews and Interviewing in Design by Margo Stern.

Remember when you were a kid and were rewarded pizza for reading books? We don’t believe you should age out of that program so we brought it back— with a creative twist! 📚 We’ve had so much fun with it last year, we’re keeping it going in 2026 🎉
We’ve picked out a few more books that are around $20 or less, and are applicable for designers of all shapes and sizes. We’ll be meeting quarterly to discuss them over pizza. That’s only one book per quarter so there’s no pressure; you can join us for them all or choose a couple from the bunch! Go at your own pace or the one we’ve set.

📚 Coming up in this cycle:
Good Job: Designing Interviews (and Interviewing in Design) — Margo Stern
Creative Acts for Curious People — Sarah Stein Greenberg
Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands, Business, and Life — Rory Sutherland

While we’ve put this together with @aigaaustin members in mind, it’s open for all! Bring a friend, save the date, and let’s start the year with intention.
