CARBO - Feb 16, 2026 (Isa)

Feb 16, 2026

Holaaaa! I started working on a playground design!! It's down Government Street in the now-existing Independence Park. It's a BREC project as well, but we're doing all the designing. CARBO has been working on this project for a while now, I think since 2021, but again, funding for municipal projects is always so complicated! The park is going to be an all-inclusive project, which is literally what I really wanted to do!! I've been doing a lot of research and trying to figure out what would benefit the most amount of community members! Still getting a good hang of Vectorworks as well by just creating my own projects atm; the playground project is mainly on ol’ reliable CAD! Aside from work, I was able to go to San Antonio for Valentine’s Day weekend, and it was so so much fun! We got to do a virtual reality experience, eat Chicken Salad Chick ofc, and go to a cute dinner downtown! We also checked out the nightlife at the Riverwalk, and there's so much Latin presence, I freaking loved ittt! I was waiting all night to hear Baile Inolvidable by Bad Bunny, but no one freaking played it. So Nick and I just walked around the Riverwalk with some earbuds in and decided to dance to it in an area of the Riverwalk when, out of nowhere, someone put the song we were listening to on the speakers!! Here's a pic of us realizing there's music playing outside our earbuds lol, so happy I recorded the moment lol! Anyways, that's all, guys, see y'all next time!! Oh, also, the airport crew broke my luggage, so I got a new one for free ninety-nine!

OJB (Houston) - Taylor - 1

I guess I'll be brave for once and post first lol. I also have nothing to do right now and everyone around me are in meetings I wasn't invited to 😞. I started at OJB early last month, January 12, as I imagine a lot of y'all have as well. My first couple days consisted of onboarding paperwork, software setup, and getting to meet the rest of the team. Chandler, my desk buddy and the main guy who finds me things to do, had me update some rhino models and Lumion renderings to begin with. The highlight of my first week though had to be making it onto the website. I felt way too proud of that. You gotta scroll all the way down to the bottom to find me 😂.  I began some real work doing grading studies for a clock/art installation/stage/tower/overlook over at the University of Houston. Thank God for Hayden or else I would've embarrassed myself for not knowing basic grading 👀. I modeled the thing like 15 different times as the team tried out new ideas of how to fit it into the...

Hey guys! Hope all is well at school or on your internships! Some background about where I am working for the currently, Wenk is a landscape architecture office based in Denver that works on a huge range of projects, from more urban park spaces to campus planning and tons of wetland restoration. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to work on six different projects, which has made every day feel different and exciting. A big chunk of my time has been spent on two master plan renderings. I have also been working on a community outreach presentation for a local park 2 mins from my house! Looking forward to drawing concepts this  upcoming Friday ! They’ve been both tedious and oddly relaxing at the same time. During my first week, I also got to go on a couple of site visits, which was a great way to dive in. The first visit focused on tree mitigation, where we marked which trees were being removed for a future trail and documented their condition. The next site visit was at CU Boulder’s sop...
