Embracing the Culture at Design Workshop

I wanted to share some recent highlights from my experience so far at Design Workshop. The past few weeks have been filled with engaging professional events, team-building activities, and holiday celebrations. Here’s a glimpse into the vibrant culture at my new workplace.

Business in the Front, Axes in the Back

I had the pleasure of attending my first professional networking event with my coworkers. It was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and industry professionals. After the event, I shifted gears and headed for some axe throwing practice ahead of the playoffs. Balancing business and fun is what makes working at Design Workshop so enjoyable!

A Day Full of Adventures

I’m excited to share an eventful weekend with all of you. From axe throwing practice to a nature documentary at a local brewery, here’s a look at my packed social schedule and a memorable visit to Vista Brewing with my girlfriend.

A Full Day of Fun

What a day! I started with watching the World Cup, followed by some axe throwing practice. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a park grill and chill session, and to top it all off, I ended the day at a brewery watching a nature documentary. It was a full and fulfilling day, packed with activities I love.

Vista Brewing and “Deep in the Heart”

We headed to Vista Brewing to watch “Deep in the Heart,” a Texas wildlife documentary narrated by the one and only Matthew McConaughey. The brewery itself is a gem, with a small working farm and apiary onsite, providing fresh ingredients for their kitchen and drinks.

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.

Quick Trip to Denver for the Job Interview

My journey to this new role took me on a quick trip to Denver for the final interview. One surprising discovery along the way was finding out the Austin Airport has live music inside—an unexpected treat! In Denver, I had the chance to dine near downtown at a unique restaurant located in a former mortuary, which added an interesting twist to the evening.

Austin Resource Recovery’s Annual Circular Austin Showcase

August 30, 2022 No Comments

Continuing my green adventures in Austin, I attended the City of Austin’s Circular Austin Showcase. This was a “shark tank” style pitch event where entrepreneurs propose businesses/products based on recycled or upcycled waste materials. I was previously involved in 2021 [RE]verse Pitch Competition as an initial contestant (didn’t make finals) with an idea for vermicomposting to pitch for that year’s Circular Showcase.
