Our Story
A Passion for Play
"Research shows that integrating play into the work environment isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential for both companies and their employees to flourish in work and in life."
Pop CoLab is a unique space where creativity and play come to life for adults. Founded by Donavan & Lindsey Robinson, Pop CoLab is dedicated to enhancing mental health, personal fulfillment and professional productivity through carefully curated experiences and workshops.
Pop CoLab wasn't born out of a desire for mere fun and games (although there's plenty of that too!). It stemmed from a belief in the transformative power of play in the workplace. We work with corporate teams to unlock the potential that lies within when we embrace a playful approach.
Through dynamic team-building programs, interactive workshops, and engaging events, we aim to:
Enrich Lives
– Explore new skills, spark creativity, and build meaningful connections for personal growth and fulfillment.
Support Mental Health
– Reduce stress, boost happiness, and foster a positive mindset through engaging, play-driven activities.
Build a Better World
– Create a more connected, inclusive, and collaborative community through creativity and shared experiences.
