How Intuit’s Bangalore Team Bonded Through Art with Paint Bar

When Intuit approached us for a team-building experience in Bangalore, they came with a vision — to deepen relationships, build a ‘we before me’ mindset, and make employees feel connected and inspired.

We knew right away this wasn’t going to be just another corporate painting workshop. This needed strategy, creativity, and a whole lot of team synergy.

🎨 The Concept: Turning Values into Visuals

We designed an interactive group painting session where 40 employees were split into groups of 5, each team working on a 2x2 ft canvas. But here’s the twist — their individual canvases would ultimately connect to form one giant artwork symbolizing unity, shared values, and collaboration.

How did we do it?

Each team was assigned a core value — like Courage, Integrity, Innovation, and so on — and guided through a four-part painting process that got them thinking, talking, and creating together.

🧩 The Step-by-Step Experience

Each phase of the workshop was designed to encourage connection, so we gave each team a "prompt" at regular intervals! 

Prompt 1 : Illustrate Your Core: Teams illustrated their assigned value at the center of their canvas. We provided visual references to spark ideas but encouraged remixing and originality. Each team also got specific colors, giving their canvas a unique identity.

Prompt 2 : Build the Background: This step was all about grounding their value in a shared visual space — literally. Teams painted their backgrounds with colors that aligned with their theme.

Prompt 3 : Core values were then boldly written across the canvas using black paint — the statement moment.

Prompt 4 : Finally, teams collaborated with another team (like Team Courage connecting to Team Integrity), using visual elements like zig-zag lines, polka dots, or abstract bridges to link their canvases together.

The end result? One massive artwork that wasn’t just visually stunning — it told a story of shared effort, creative problem-solving, and collective pride.

🧠 The Strategy Behind the Strokes

We didn't just wing it with brushes and paint. Here's how we aligned with Intuit’s goals:

• Intentional Prompts: Each phase was thoughtfully designed to spark conversation, creative compromise, and team alignment.

• Visual Identity + Group Identity: Teams weren’t just painting—they were visually interpreting company values, which created stronger resonance with their roles and goals.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: The connection prompt ensured that teams had to interact with groups they didn’t start with — perfect for breaking silos and encouraging new bonds.

💡 Why It Worked

This wasn’t just painting for fun. It was a custom-designed team experience that used creativity as a catalyst for deeper connection.

Intuit didn’t just get a beautiful mural at the end — they got a meaningful, shared memory which they put up on their office wall.
