Canva Austin

I had the amazing opportunity to project manage the build out of Canva's first US office in Austin, Texas. From office tours, selection, the contract process to the design phase, furniture selection, security conversations, city permitting (what a saga) to weekly walkthroughs and opening the doors on day 1. 

I appreciate the patience and partnership of the team that helped bring the vision to life - JLL Real Estate Team Jake Ragusa and Elizabeth Thompson, JLL Project Manager Karlie Herron, Sixth River Architects, Emily Sandstrom (Canva internal Architect), Turner Construction.
