Exploring Design Workshop’s Houston Projects
I recently had the opportunity to embark on another exciting work trip with Design Workshop, this time to our Houston Studio along side members from the Austin Studio. It was a fantastic experience filled with project discussions, site visits, and connecting with colleagues face-to-face.
Day 1 at Design Workshop Houston Studio
I kicked off my trip to Houston with a full day of productive meetings and discussions about our ongoing projects. It was great to collaborate with my colleagues in person, and the energy in the studio was palpable. Despite the Texas heat, the day was filled with insights from a local site tour of Midtown Park followed by a cross-studio outing at The Rustic.

EarthX 2023: Celebrating Environmental Innovation
I recently had the pleasure of attending EarthX 2023, an event that continues to inspire and educate on environmental issues. This conference holds a special place for me, as it’s been a consistent highlight over the years.
Why I Recommend EarthX
EarthX has become a must-attend event for me, and I highly recommend it to others who are passionate about environmental sustainability. The speaker sessions and documentary film series are particularly enlightening, offering deep dives into critical environmental topics and solutions.
Excitement Builds for EarthX
This year, I headed to Dallas for EarthX, held at the Texas State Fair Grounds. The anticipation was high, and I was eager to immerse myself again in the latest innovations and discussions surrounding environmental conservation.

Exploring Urban Parks with the Houston Team
I recently had an exciting experience that I’d love to share with you. On January 11, 2023, I spent the day at our Houston design studio, where I had the opportunity to meet the team and participate in my first site walk.
Houston Design Studio Visit
My day started with a warm welcome from the Houston team. It was great to finally put faces to names and get to know the talented individuals I’ll be collaborating with on various projects.
Site Walk to Urban Parks
The highlight of the day was going on a site walk to two nearby urban parks, Midtown Park and Bagby Street Park. Seeing the firm’s projects come to life was incredibly inspiring. It’s one thing to see designs on paper, but witnessing the physical spaces and how they interact with the community brings a whole new level of appreciation for the work we do.

More Axe Throwing Adventures
Celebrating Axesgiving and More
I’m excited to share some updates from my axe throwing journey with all of you. The past few months have been filled with exciting events, new experiences, and memorable moments with my axe throwing community at Urban Axes in Austin, TX.
Axesgiving and League Updates
On November 12, 2022, we celebrated “Axesgiving” with part of our axe throwing league, including both current and past members. It was a fantastic gathering, filled with great food and even better company.
Getting Fancy and Going Online
Axe throwing is getting fancy! Urban Axes created an outdoor planter divider for the picnic area, adding a touch of elegance to their setup. Additionally, we’re now streaming our matches online, which allows more people to join in on the fun and excitement, even if they can’t be there in person.
