My Job at SW!TCH
For the Past few months (since Jan 3rd) I’ve been working at a new job, a real job even. Since graduation in 2009, I’ve had, internships, freelance jobs and part time work. Now I’m legit. full time, 8:30-5:30, salaried M-F. Woah. I feel so adult :) I didn’t want to jinx it by posting to early but now that things are rolling and we’ve passed the 2 month mark. here goes. Welcome to my work life:
This is the studio, shot from the conference table looking into the main work space (notice just a small sampling of bikes, he has 45 altogether)
This is the kitchen area, my boss Jim on left and coworker Kris in middle and Liz on right
Jim paints on pallets and this is one of his works of art hanging above the entertainment area
Jim’s crazy office ( as we do many publications, naturally magazines everywhere!)
lots and lots of magazines, Inspiration!
As a former BMX rider, he has a collection of skateboards and the very first Burton board
Liz and Kris working hard
Conference table during a mag redesign for Momentum
Now moving on to next door, where there are more bikes, a bike repair area and…
a half pipe.
Carla, Mia (from momentum), Kris, Chaidi (our traveling designer) and me, hanging out in the kitchen, after hours of course ;)
Chaidi and Liz on one of our many bike rides to lunch
I ponder the bike lifestyle in Japan, as I examine one of our new test bikes, a folding bike
And that’s it, as one of my friends called it, the Google workplace of Arizona… maybe a smaller scale, being we are a 6-man team, but nonetheless! I love my new job and can’t wait to be a part of SW!TCH’s future!

Hey Kat! We haven’t chatted since design week, but it’s great to hear that you’re working at SW!TCH! Congrats!
Ya! I really like it :) thanks!
Wow, it looks like a fun place to work! I love the studio where I work, but it looks so neat/uptight compared to yours :) Congrats!
