Case Study: Design Milk achieves seamless remote collaboration and brings the Milk Stand to life with Dropbox Paper

How Design Milk used Dropbox Paper to bring Milk Stand to life

Design Milk, an online design publisher that operates without a central headquarters, needed to coordinate remote designers, editors, and project managers to build the Milk Stand pop-up at ICFF 2017. The team faced a complex, multi-contributor project and needed a cloud-based, low–learning-curve tool to keep everyone aligned across locations and stages of the creative process.

They adopted Dropbox Paper as a single shared workspace—easy to learn (about 15 minutes)—to assign tasks and due dates, create quick tables and floorplans, use an auto-generated table of contents, and leave contextual comments with update notifications. Paper consolidated mock-ups, schedules, and communications, streamlined collaboration, kept the project on track, and ultimately earned a permanent spot in Design Milk’s toolkit.
