Donavan & Lindsey, founders
Our
Purpose
We believe in the transformative power of play.
At Pop CoLab, we exist to reignite curiosity, connection, and creativity—especially in spaces where they’ve been forgotten. We believe play isn’t a distraction from productivity—it’s the key to it. When teams play, they build trust, spark innovation, and rediscover joy.
Our Process
We create space for meaningful, interactive experiences—both in-person and online.
We partner with diverse local facilitators—many of whom are Indigenous, neurodivergent, or underrepresented—to offer workshops and activations that are:
Engaging
Think, DIY Craft workshops, mocktail-making experiences, and culture-based workshops— all led by local facilitators.
Customizable
Tailored to your team’s vibe and needs
Community
Pop CoLab is rooted in community and inclusion.
