2023 Schemata Workshop Staff Retreat

May 05, 2023

On May 1st, the Schemata staff came together virtually and in person for our annual staff retreat. This year's theme, “Frogger Happiness,” served as a framework for discussions about improving efficiency in our work environment so that we can make time for our individual passions and areas of interest both at and outside of work. The retreat also included a collaborative art project and a walk down to the Seattle waterfront to visit one of our recently-completed projects, the Union pedestrian street bridge. We ended the day with happy hour at Old Stove Brewery on the Pike Place Marketfront.
