The second annual Austin Design Week finally starts on Monday, November 6, 2017. ADW is a week-long celebration of Austin’s design economy with workshops, talks, studio tours and events. This year, ADW is hosting over 60 events–almost double the number of events from last year! Left Right Media is honored to work very closely with the folks over at ADW, so we are extremely excited to see the success of this year’s design week. We are also holding our very own event with McCray & Co. and Linda Asaf where attendees learn about the very first step in the design process: creating a moodboard! Just like last year, we planned out the events we especially want to hit up. Read on for our staff’s top picks.

Urban Observations
NOVEMBER 6, 2017 12PM – 1:30PM
516 Navasota St.
Austin, TX 78702
This seems like a really cool way to be present and appreciate your surroundings, especially in a city as amazing as Austin. Using watercolor as a tool to paint an interpretation of what’s around you seems like an inspiring way to become more in touch with the community. We’ll see if my end result ends up looking anything like what I’m painting. I am designer, but definitely not a painter.
Landscape As Lens: Design Thinking Your Goals
NOVEMBER 9, 2017 12:30PM – 1:30PM
1401 E 7th St.
Austin, TX 78702
I am excited to really explore design thinking and use the tools I learn to better position my work/life balance. Understanding your place in the world–especially the constantly evolving design world– is important to producing the best work you can while being the most authentic version of yourself.

Canales & Co. Studio Tour
NOVEMBER 6, 2017 4PM – 6PM
32 Reese Dr.
Austin, TX 78745
From the picture alone, this place is totally #studiogoals, and I’m a sucker for clean and modern architecture. I’m sure the inside is just as aesthetically pleasing as well. I also feel like I learn so much by talking to other agencies about their work and process. I like to take smart tidbits and ideas back to our office.
Find Place in My Career as a Designer
NOVEMBER 6, 2017 12PM – 1:30PM
701 Brazos St.
Austin, TX 78701
As a young designer, I am always looking for places to grow and learn. This workshop further analyzes our role in the design world and how we keep up with the fast-paced, ever-changing industry. I am looking forward to exploring more of who I am in the career that I love.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_divider style=”thin_solid”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”551″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text align=”center”]

INTAKE ON THE LAKE: A Night of Projection, Music and Design at the Iconic Seaholm Waterfront
NOVEMBER 6, 2017 6PM – 9PM
100 West Avenue (intersection of West Avenue and Cesar Chavez)
Austin, TX 78701
The opening night of Austin Design Week kicks off at the Seaholm Waterfront building, just south of the power plant. The facility will be activated with digital projections, music, and activities that make it sound like it will be part Waller Creek Creekshow and part Pecha Kucha – two events that always make for great company. It’s also a good excuse to check out the new Central Public Library before-hand if you haven’t had a chance yet.
Finding Yourself in the Best User Interview Ever
NOVEMBER 7, 2017 12PM – 1:30PM
IBM
11501 Burnet Road, Bdg 903
Austin, TX 78758
I’m hoping to gather a few tips and ideas from this workshop on conducting great user interviews. The great set of facilitators (Ellen Kolsto and Farzana Sedillo) have a diverse background that should make for an engaging dialogue – and I’m just interested to see how they work. Beyond being excited to visit my former workspace (and seeing the new Design Center), I’m betting that the interview guides and hands-on activities will be something we can adapt to our clients and process here at LRM.
Home of the Future
NOVEMBER 8, 2017 6:30PM – 8:30PM
Umlauf Sculpture Garden
605 Robert E Lee Rd.
Austin, TX 78704
Architecture is one of my favorite art forms and types of history. This event at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden sounds like it will be a blend of both. Architect Scott Specht will lead a multi-screen video presentation that will showcase “houses of the future” from the 1940’s to today. I’m always intrigued by past generations’ anticipations of our current “future,” and how eerily close their predictions often are.
