Employee Spotlight
Nick Woo
Photographer, Hong Kong

We are excited to feature Nick Woo with an Employee Spotlight! It’s hard to have a photography studio without photographers, so Nick's creative and collaborative contributions are vital to the studio's success. Supporting the Hong Kong Team for over six years, Nick has been instrumental in creating a positive atmosphere for his colleagues and clients to be successful.

Nick is also a coffee aficionado, loves to travel, and would love to visit the Kingdom of Wakanda if given the chance.

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! To our Latino/Hispanic community members and employees, we celebrate you and thank you for all you do.

Before jumping headfirst into Fall, each of the studios celebrated the final days of summer with Summer Refresh events!
Our Portland studio spent a fun filled day at Oaks Amusement Park, our Hong Kong team went rock climbing for the afternoon, and our New York City studio opted for dinner on a boat on the Hudson River!
Look at photos from our teams’ adventures! Which teams outing would you choose to go on?

At Straub Collaborative we believe it’s important to remember just how far women’s rights in the U.S. have come.

In 1920, the 19th amendment was signed into law in the U.S., granting some women the right to vote. This was a major step forward in the recognition of voter rights. Yet, it would be another 45 years before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would prohibit racial discrimination in voting, and thus allow women of color the right to vote in the many states where they had remained disenfranchised.

On Women’s Equality Day we honor those everywhere who work with courage and determination to promote women’s rights in an ever-evolving world.

Clearing a Path to Equity - The Americans with Disabilities Act

Today, we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law was pivotal in providing protections to over 55 million Americans by prohibiting discrimination by employers, adding requirements for accessibility, and providing access to various government programs for people with disabilities.

While progress has been made, there’s still a long way to go. At Straub we’re clearing a path in our industry by wholeheartedly investing in facilities upgrades such as the ramp shown in the accompanying photo of our Portland studio installed when we renovated in 2018. We host initiatives like our culture team, employee resource groups, weekly one on one meetings between managers and employees, and moving towards full web accessibility. We always strive to give our people the best tools and support to do their best work.
