I can completely understand why Eliza would want to work at Pinterest. I was recently at Pinterest headquarters in San Francisco, California. I was as excited as a kid going to Disney World! Here are a few pictures I took during my visit.

The building is located close to other tech startups in San Francisco.

Even Pinterest uses Pinterest for inspiration. There were crafty decorations all around like these fun pillows.

I didn’t get to meet Ben Silbermann or Evan Sharp, the co-founders of Pinterest, but I got to bring home this snazzy official Pinterest pin!

    Another great episode. How creative was that of Eliza – awesome. Loved the tip about thanking pinners for their pins of images from our websites. I did try doing this but couldn’t see a way of commenting only “hearting”. Must have been doing something wrong somewhere – will go back in short while to try and figure it out.

    Thanks again

      Thanks Rob! The easiest way to thank pinners is to leave a comment under their pin description.

      Happy Pinning 🙂
