Hello everyone,

 

I hope you have had a good week. 

 

Whether you work in a company office/environment or work from your living room table, perhaps a mix of the two-the space around us is important. A environment that you enjoy being in can greatly impact the amount of time you want to be there for and how you work. 

 

Inspired by a conversation with a fellow community member earlier in the week @Alex_Muc, I thought I'd start a discussion for us all to share a little more about our work areas. Perhaps your office building has colourful walls or artwork displays, or on your home desk you have a very nice pot plant! 

 

I'll kick us off, I spend a few days in the office during the week and a few days on my living room table! I find I work differently in both. I enjoy my living room table as I have a room that has lots of light flooding in, but I do have to tidy up the table at the end of the day. My office desk, I have a couple of folks to keep me company...

...and if you have ever been to the London Google office you will have seen we are a bit of a fan of pixel art-sticky note style! 😀

 

It would be great to hear from you, what do you like about your work environment(s)?

 

It would be great to hear from you, thanks so much,

Lizzie

Hey!

I saw a few photos of the partner event in London on social media. I was not familiar with the Google office in London. After seeing all the Pixel Arts, I thought to myself...

Decorating walls is not explicitly allowed, but hopefully nobody should mind a few colorful sticky notes. 😁 Now we just have to think about which wall to decorate next.

We also visited the Google stand at a convention in November and received a few Bugdroid stickers. A few of our colleagues happily stuck them around the office. 😄

Love this @Alex_Muc, thank you for sharing. I think it would be hard for your office manager to not think this is an amazing use of the blank wall. 😎

 

What design are you thinking next? Are you going to keep the Pokémon theme going or branch out to something else? Maybe something in green... 😁

Charizard will probably move into the office building next. 🐲
Maybe there will be a pixel art version of our city emblem too, if I can get it to appear well pixelated. 😃

A quick update: Our gallery has expanded a little. 😄

Charmander has always been my favourite Pokemon.

These are amazing @Alex_Muc. Wow! This takes me back to my Pokémon gameboy days! 😀

 

Have you got any more walls you plan to do?
