Our Donation to the Center for Child Protection

For more than 30 years, the Center for Child Protection has been the first place Travis County turns when a child faces unimaginable circumstances. Forensic interviews, therapy, and medical care, all trauma-informed and offered free of charge. The people who do this work meet children at their hardest moments and help them find the way forward.

Who the Center for Child Protection serves

The Center for Child Protection is a nationally accredited children's advocacy center and the only nonprofit in Travis County involved in the investigation and prosecution of crimes against children. Everything happens under one roof by design, so a child meets a coordinated team instead of being sent from one agency to the next.

The mission behind that work is a larger one: to end the cycle of child abuse through advocacy, education, and community support. Last year, 938 children told their story to a professional at the Center.

A new space in North Austin

In April 2026, the Center opened its St. Johns Therapy location, a therapy-only facility in North Austin designed to meet clients exactly where they are. Every inch of the space was curated with therapeutic needs in mind, from interactive experiential rooms to family-focused areas.

The team also recognized the importance of caring for the staff who work there. Desks, computers, and furniture were part of giving therapists and administrative staff a workspace built for the demands of their days.

Our donation to the Center for Child Protection

Through our monthly community donation program, UPLIFT Desk provided standing desks for the therapists and staff at the new St. Johns Therapy location. These are professionals who manage emotionally demanding caseloads, often followed by hours of documentation and desk work. Height-adjustable desks give them room to change positions, stretch, and stay comfortable through long days, easing the physical toll that heavy work can leave behind.

Helping our community

Standing behind the Center for Child Protection means standing behind the people who show up for Austin's most vulnerable children. The work is heavy, and it does not pause. When the therapists and staff carrying it have workspaces built for comfort and movement, they can bring more of themselves to the families who need them.

Our donation program exists for exactly this reason. When local organizations doing essential work have the right tools, their impact reaches further into the community around them.

Looking forward

We are proud to support the Center for Child Protection and the opening of their St. Johns Therapy location. The children and families who walk through those doors are met with care, and now the people providing that care have workspaces made with them in mind too.

We are honored to play a small part in the Center's mission, and we look forward to seeing the difference this new space makes for the years ahead.

The open office survival guide: solving the 6 most common workspace issues

The open office concept was designed with a beautiful vision in mind: breaking down literal walls to encourage collaboration, communication, and a vibrant team culture. But open space alone doesn't deliver that. Tearing down walls also tears out the sound buffers, privacy, and storage they provided.

Without thoughtful planning, the very features that make an open office exciting can quickly lead to distractions, fatigue, and drops in productivity.

If you are designing or upgrading an open workspace, keep an eye out for these 6 common open office pitfalls, and explore the subtle, seamless design solutions that can transform a chaotic room into a high-performance environment.

1. The noise epidemic: acoustic chaos

The issue

Open offices are acoustic echo chambers. Casual chats, phone calls, and keyboard clicks bounce off hard surfaces, creating a constant wall of background noise. Without a quiet place to focus, employee concentration and productivity plummet.

2. The fishbowl effect: visual distractions

The issue

Constant peripheral movement, like coworkers walking past or screens flashing across the room, triggers subconscious cognitive fatigue. Employees end up feeling exposed or "on display," which quickly destroys focus and stifles deep thinking.

A successful open office isn't just about the desks you choose—it's about the ecosystem you build around them.

—Cary Anderson, Director of Sales

3. The tangled wire jungle: cable chaos

The issue

Multiple devices mean a massive amount of cords. In an open office, height-adjustable desks with loose, hanging wires look unpolished, risk damaging hardware, and create severe tripping hazards.

4. The "tech neck" trap: ergonomic strain

The issue

Upgrading to height-adjustable desks is a fantastic step for wellness, but placing laptops or monitors directly on a bare desktop still causes slouched posture, eye strain, and neck pain at any height.

5. The desktop landslide: storage in plain sight

The issue

In an open office, everything is in plain sight. Without a designated home for each item, notebooks, personal belongings, and tech accessories pile up on the desktop, where they add visual clutter and risk sliding off when the desk rises.

6. Power deserts: the hunt for an outlet

The issue

In large open layouts, wall outlets are few and far between. Forcing employees to crawl under desks or stretch dangerous extension cords across walkways to plug in their devices actively discourages collaboration and movement.

The takeaway

Creating an open office that supports culture, team dynamics, and productivity takes intentional, employee-first planning. There is no single right way to build a great workspace, but a few thoughtful considerations can make the space more successful. Find what works for your team and build your best office today.

The L-shaped desk now at the V3 standard

The legacy UPLIFT V2 height adjustable frame is trusted by millions and refined over years of customer feedback, one of the steadiest and most reliable frames we make. The V3 frame builds on that same reliability, and it already carries our most popular desks. Now that frame takes on its most demanding form yet: the UPLIFT L-Shaped Standing Desk.

The UPLIFT L-Shaped Standing Desk was designed by a world-class engineering team led by a Certified Professional Ergonomist, and each one is built to the same standard: lasting durability, ergonomic comfort, and years of reliable daily use.

Maximum desktop real estate

The L-shaped desk joins two full desktops, a main-side and return-side, into a single work surface. The L-shape desktop design provides you with the space needed for just about anything, even a multi-monitor setup with room for graphics tablets, printers, handwriting areas, or anything you could ever need. The 535 lb lifting capacity is more than adequate to handle it. And because the frame lifts as one, the entire desktop, both the main and return side, adjusts to the perfect height that you need.

Engineered to stay steady

The frame's stability starts at the floor, with a TremorGuard steel foot and an integrated stability plate under each leg. Together they eliminate side-to-side motion and keep the desk wobble-free from its lowest setting to its highest.

The legs are 33% larger and machined to precise tolerances, which keeps the wide surface from flexing under load. Central I-Beam crossbar rails, borrowed from commercial construction, spread weight evenly across the frame for a flat, rigid top. Even a heavy load pushed to one edge holds without tipping. Every machine screw is coated with threadlocker, so the assembly stays tight through years of daily use.

The desk passes ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 testing for stability, strength, safety, and durability. That benchmark is the contract-grade standard the office-furniture industry sets, and an independent lab verifies the desk against it.

One desk, one synchronized lift

Room to build it out

A patented 90-point mounting system runs the length of the frame, giving you dozens of places to attach accessories. Shelves, CPU holders, and power strips fasten to the frame itself, so you can expand the workstation and rearrange it without starting over. As your setup grows, the desk grows with it.

Multiple sizes and finishes, with a reversible left- or right-side return on in-stock desktops. The desk fits the room you have.

Configured to your space

UPLIFT L-Shaped desks come in a range of sizes and finishes, with a fully reversible return on in-stock desktops, so left-hand and right-hand layouts are the same desk, set up the way your room runs. The frame adjusts across more than two feet of width to fit the space you have, and the scratch-resistant desktops wipe clean and hold up for years. Whatever your space looks like, there is an UPLIFT Desk that fits it. Browse the full range of L-shaped desks and build your new space.

From a single desk to a full floor plan, the V3 frame carries the same engineering across the office.

Modular lounge seating for spaces that change: the Dillo Lounge Collection

The rooms we share at work have quietly taken on more responsibility than they were designed for. A lounge area that doubles as informal meeting space, a collaboration zone that reshapes itself for a town hall, a school library that moves between independent study and group work across the course of a single day. These spaces have always been asked to be adaptable, but that expectation has grown considerably.

The lounge is where an organization's character becomes visible. It's where first impressions land, informal conversations take root, and people get a real sense of your company. The transition from a coffee corner with a couple of chairs to a considered lounge environment reflects something real about how we understand the value of shared space.

A well-designed lounge doesn't just offer somewhere to sit. It defines a zone, invites a certain kind of interaction, and gives people a reason to gather rather than retreat to their desks. Done well, it can anchor an entire floor — a space that works as hard in the morning as it does late in the afternoon.

The Dillo Lounge Furniture Collection was designed for modularity. A room's seating should be able to change as swiftly as its purpose does.

Dillo's seats, wedges, ottomans, and tables are each designed to stand alone or combine into something larger. A two-seat reception arrangement. A curved huddle space for a team working through a problem. A full circle configuration for a common area that needs to hold a crowd. The same pieces, reconfigured as the room requires.

What makes this possible is a system of optional connecting brackets that lock pieces together when you want them to hold, and release just as easily when you don't. There are no tools involved, no permanent commitments, and no call to a vendor when the layout needs to change. From a home office to a corporate office lounge, the Dillo Lounge Furniture Collection is built to grow and reshape with the space.

A lounge is often where the conversations that can't be scheduled happen. The informal exchange that moves a project forward. The spontaneous gathering that a scheduled meeting never quite replicates. This is frequently the space that gives a new employee or visiting client a feel for how an organization actually operates. These things don't happen at a desk or in a conference room — they happen in the spaces in between, and the quality of those spaces shapes the quality of what takes place in them.

Lounge seating, chosen and arranged thoughtfully, is part of that infrastructure. It signals that people are welcome to gather, not just work — and that the organization has thought carefully about how people spend their time together.

Furniture decisions are often made for the space as it exists today. The Dillo Lounge Furniture Collection is designed to remain relevant as that space evolves.

Because the collection is modular, it doesn't become obsolete when an organization grows, moves, or changes the way it works. A two-seat configuration bought for a reception area can become part of a larger arrangement when the floor plan expands. A single seat purchased today joins cleanly with anything added later. The investment compounds rather than depreciates — each piece remains useful regardless of what comes next.

This is the practical case for modular lounge seating. Organizations that choose Dillo seating aren't committing to a layout. They're investing in a system that can keep up with them.

Seating layouts for any space

Every Dillo configuration is designed with a specific kind of space in mind. The table below organizes the full collection by where each layout works best — use the footprint column to find what fits, and the best for column to narrow it down further.

The Dillo Lounge Furniture Collection is available in individual pieces and pre-built configurations. For a closer look at how the pieces come together and guidance on choosing the right configuration for your space, read the Dillo Lounge Seating Buying Guide.

How modular shelving shapes a better office

A bookshelf holds books. A filing cabinet holds files. Office storage is frequently evaluated on capacity — how much can it hold, and does it fit in the corner?

The right shelving system does more. It organizes a space, defines zones, and manages the sound and visual noise of open offices. Storage, when designed well, is infrastructure. Sequence Shelving by UPLIFT Desk was built to provide utility and organization to any space.

What modular really means

The word "modular" is applied loosely to a lot of furniture. True modularity means something different. It's a system that's additive by design, where each unit is a building block rather than a standalone piece.

Sequence Shelving is built around that logic. Short 40" units and tall 76" units connect into configurations you design. Build a single tower, set units side by side, step them across a wall, or bridge two towers across an opening. Extension units attach to existing assemblies, so the system grows with the space rather than getting replaced by it.

This also makes Sequence a practical answer to one of the more persistent frustrations in office furniture. Offices change. Teams grow, spaces get repurposed, layouts shift. A modular shelving system absorbs that change without starting over.

Soft separation, defined zones

In open office plans, the absence of internal structure creates real functional problems. Focus areas blur into collaborative zones. Individual workstations lack any sense of enclosure. There's no visual separation between a heads-down work area and a casual meeting spot.

Tall shelving is one of the most effective ways to bring that structure back. The 76" Sequence Shelving units do two jobs. They reach toward the ceiling and maximize the vertical storage most offices leave unused. And they define zones across an open floor plan. The visual line of the shelves signals where one area ends and another begins.

Because the open storage stays accessible on both sides, people can easily reach books, supplies, materials, or display items from either area of the divided work zone. For spaces that need more definition, the acoustic panels take division efforts further.

An overlooked acoustic benefit

Sound is one of the most frequently cited reasons people can't focus in open offices — and one of the least addressed by standard furniture solutions. Most shelving ignores it entirely.

Sequence's optional PET felt panels mount to the back of tall shelving assemblies, pulling double-duty. They create a solid visual barrier between zones, reducing the constant peripheral movement and visual clutter that makes open offices mentally taxing. And they absorb sound, dampening the ambient noise that travels across open floors.

The panels are available in dark gray and light gray, and are compatible with tall shelf configurations. A combination of tall units with panels creates a finished, acoustically treated zone that also carries 50 lbs per shelf.

This combination of visual and acoustic zoning from a single product — one that also provides significant storage — is a rare solution. That kind of multitasking pays off even for offices that came in thinking they just needed more shelves.

Meet Sequence Shelving

Shelf and frame finishes are color-matched to UPLIFT Desk's desktop lineup. Clean lines, minimal hardware, and a considered mix of metal and surface material carry across the desk, the chair, and now the shelving. Positioned behind or beside an UPLIFT Desk, Sequence Shelving reads as part of one coordinated workspace.

Cloud Dancer and the case for white office furniture

A color that feels like a decision

When Pantone named PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer its Color of the Year for 2026, the choice landed differently than most. No bold statement hue. No vibrant cultural provocation. Just white, described as "a whisper of tranquility and peace in a noisy world."

For some, that felt understated. For anyone who's spent time thinking about how a workspace affects the way they think and feel, it felt exactly right.

A white furnished workspace has a reputation for being the safe choice. The default. The thing you pick when you can't decide. But that reading misses something. The decision to build a white office environment is one of the more deliberate things you can do for the way you work, and the reasons go deeper than aesthetics.

The cost you're not noticing

You're spending cognitive energy on your visual environment whether you want to or not. Visual clutter, competing colors, varied textures, objects pulling at your eye; these all create a kind of low-grade mental overhead that runs constantly in the background. It's not loud. You don't notice it the way you'd notice a distraction. But it costs something.

A white, visually consistent workspace reduces that cost. For focused, detail-oriented work, a low-stimulus environment has a measurable effect on sustained concentration and the quality of decisions made throughout the day. What reads as calm to your eye reads as relief to your brain. A white office isn't sterile, it's efficient.

The space that gives back

A visually demanding space, one with a lot happening at eye level, pulls at your attention even when you're trying to direct it elsewhere. A white furnished workspace asks very little. The cost shows up at the end of the day, in fatigue you can't quite trace to anything specific.

Cloud Dancer, "a blank canvas" in Pantone's own words, isn't a design choice without personality. It's an environment with a specific, deliberate effect. One that gives more than it takes.

Order as a quiet signal

A white office holds you to a standard before you've started working.

Clutter reads immediately against a white backdrop. Disarray is visible. For some people that feels like pressure, but for most, it functions more like a quiet prompt. The space itself is always communicating something about how work happens here, before a single task has begun. An ordered environment primes more deliberate, focused behavior in ways that operate below conscious decision-making.

A white office doesn't just look organized. It encourages organization.

But isn't a white office cold? Sterile?

It's the most common objection, and it deserves a real answer.

The assumption is that creativity needs visual energy, that the most interesting thinking happens in spaces that feel layered and lived-in. There's something to that, but it applies to a specific mode of thinking: the loose, associative brainstorming that generates raw material. Not the sustained, structured work that shapes it into something useful.

Visually open environments prime abstract, big-picture thinking, connecting ideas across domains, seeing patterns at scale. A white furnished workspace isn't closed. It's open. Pantone called Cloud Dancer "similar to a blank canvas." A blank canvas isn't empty. It's the condition that makes everything possible.

White as a foundation, not a formula

Building a white office doesn't mean building an all-white room. What matters is a low-stimulus, visually cohesive environment, and white furniture is one of the most effective ways to establish that foundation without locking yourself into a single aesthetic.

Warm desktop finishes like maple, birch, and rubberwood sit naturally alongside a white frame. A wood grain catches light the frame doesn't, breaking up the uniformity without competing for attention. The result is a workspace that feels considered rather than clinical, grounded in natural tones, anchored by a clean base. The eye has somewhere to land rather than being pulled in five directions at once.

This is what Cloud Dancer's companion palettes gesture toward too. Pantone paired it with soft neutrals and understated tones, a reminder that cohesion matters more than uniformity.

Why 2026 is the right moment for this

The Color of the Year is never just about color. Pantone's choice of Cloud Dancer was a response to what people are collectively seeking. Simplicity. Clarity. Spaces that don't compete with the life happening inside them.

The design world didn't invent this feeling. The understanding of how white environments affect attention, behavior, and mental recovery has been building for decades. Pantone named something that had long been understood. And now both are pointing in the same direction, toward workspaces that give more than they take.

Build the space your work deserves

UPLIFT Desk's White Office Furniture Collection is designed to work as a system with desks, monitor arms, cable management, and accessories that keep your setup clean, cohesive, and built to last. Whether you pair a white frame with a warm wood desktop or go fully tonal, every piece is built to maintain a visual environment that benefits your overall wellbeing.

Work better. Live healthier.

Workplace mental health is a broad topic. Most of the conversation centers on workload, management, and culture. Ergonomics is less often part of that discussion. The way your workspace is configured has a direct and measurable effect on stress levels, fatigue, and how much mental energy you have available throughout the day.

Research published in Applied Ergonomics¹ puts a number on it. Inadequate workplace conditions reduce objective cognitive capacity by an average of 2.4% to 5.8%, the equivalent of losing more than two weeks of focused work per year. In rare cases, that figure approaches 15%. Physical comfort and cognitive performance share the same inputs. When the work environment generates constant friction, cognitive capacity absorbs the cost.

What staying still actually does to your brain

Being locked into a single position for hours forces the body into continuous muscular tension. Muscles that should be cycling through engagement and rest stay loaded. Over the course of a day that becomes fatigue, and over the course of a week it becomes the kind of physical depletion that doesn’t fully resolve overnight.

A 2018 study published in The BMJ² by Edwardson et al. examined what happened when office workers were given height-adjustable workstations through Britain’s Stand More AT Work program. The intervention wasn’t a wellness program, a coaching initiative, or a behavioral mandate. It was simply giving people the ability to change position. After 12 months, participants reported significantly lower occupational fatigue, reduced daily anxiety, and measurable improvements in overall quality of life. The variable that changed was access to movement, nothing else.

Understanding why movement produces these results matters. When the body is held in a fixed position, muscles that aren’t actively engaged begin to fatigue, triggering a low-grade stress response that the brain registers and processes continuously. That processing isn’t free. It draws on the same cognitive resources used for focus, problem solving, and emotional regulation. Introducing regular postural transitions — even minor ones — interrupts that cycle before it compounds.

What the body carries, the mind pays for

Physical discomfort that goes unresolved accumulates, and the byproduct is a taxed nervous system. If you spend the day managing low-grade strain at your desk, that strain doesn’t clock out when you do. The irritability after a long day at a poorly configured desk, the difficulty switching off, arriving home mentally bankrupt. All of it traces back to an environment that never gave the body a chance to recover.

This is where ergonomics intersects with burnout in a way that rarely gets named. Burnout has a physical precondition that the workspace either contributes to or removes.

What this means for employers

Ergonomic investment occupies a new category among workplace wellbeing initiatives. It works passively. Employees don’t need to opt in, attend a session, or build a new habit. The benefit is structural. A well-configured, adaptable workstation removes friction from the environment itself, which means its impact compounds daily without requiring ongoing behavioral change from the people using it. For organizations building a wellbeing strategy, ergonomic infrastructure is one of the few investments that doesn’t require employee buy-in to deliver value.

The cost of not investing is just as measurable. Chronic physical discomfort at work is a consistent predictor of presenteeism — employees who are physically present but operating below capacity. Over time, unresolved physical friction contributes to fatigue, disengagement, and attrition. The productivity loss embedded in a poorly configured workstation rarely appears on a balance sheet, but it accumulates the same way.

Adaptability is the right standard

A workspace built around adaptability should account for every point of contact between you and your work. The desk gives you the range of movement. The chair conforms to the body using it. The accessories fill the ergonomic gaps in between.

The workstation works as a system. Investing in a height-adjustable desk without accounting for what sits on and around it addresses one problem while leaving the others in place. Dive deeper into the complete workstation ecosystem.

Sitting isn't the issue. Staying is. Holding one posture for hours, regardless of what the work demands, is harming your health. A standing desk holds every posture ready at any moment, so you can match your desk height to the work in front of you.

A healthier workday moves between three working postures — seated, standing, and walking — and a height-adjustable desk supports all three.

Why posture variety matters

Sitting all day compresses the lower back and stiffens the hips. Standing all day strains the legs, lower back, and feet. Neither posture alone is the answer, because the body needs movement and variation, not one fixed position. Building that variation into a workday requires a deliberate approach.

Posture one: seated, for deep focus

Seated posture is where fine motor precision and sustained concentration are at their strongest. Detailed writing, careful analysis, exact mouse control, extended reading — these are seated tasks.

A seated workspace that's slightly off pays a tax across the workday. Even small misalignments add up. Set the desk an inch too high and the shoulders tighten. Drop the monitor too low below eye level and the neck pulls forward. Pitch the chair too low and the lower back compensates. Individually minor, these misalignments collectively break focus.

The setup

Posture two: standing, for alertness

Standing activates the legs, glutes, and core, improves circulation, and raises alertness — making it the right posture for tasks that demand high engagement. Video calls. Active collaboration. Creative review. Anything where staying mentally upright matters.

The setup

Posture three: walking, for low-intensity work

Walking is the third working posture, and the most overlooked. Configured well, walking earns a place alongside sitting and standing in the workday rotation.

A walking workstation suits low-intensity work that benefits from being in motion. Phone calls. Reading. Listening to recorded meetings. Email triage. Content review. Anything that doesn't require fine motor precision pairs well with a gentle walking pace.

The setup

Integrated walking converts sedentary time into active time and recovers the average desk worker's 4,000-step daily gap. Read more on how to move more without leaving your desk.

The transitions are the point

Three saved presets keep the desk ready for every posture in the rotation. Each height is one button press away, with no adjusting mid-task and no friction between positions. Without saved presets, every transition is a micro-project: adjust the desk, reposition the monitor, find the right height by trial. Friction wins. The desk stops moving.

Setting the presets correctly runs the whole system. How memory presets keep your standing desk ergonomically perfect covers finding the right heights, programming them in, and the calibration that keeps them accurate over time.

Built for the way you work

The UPLIFT V3 Standing Desk is built for you. Programmable height presets, a commercial-grade frame, and full compatibility with UPLIFT walking pads and accessories. Everything needed for the three-posture workspace in one desk.

Earth Day is a good moment to reflect on the work behind every UPLIFT desk, and on the commitments that shape how they are made. The materials, the manufacturing, the energy, the packaging, and the lifespan all add up to an environmental story long before a desk arrives at your door. At UPLIFT Desk, sustainability influences how we source our materials, power our operations, and the way we think about the life of every desk we ship.

This Earth Day, we want to share where that commitment stands, what it looks like in practice, and why it earned our team Austin’s Environmental Champion award two years running.

Five trees for every solid wood desktop

Our partnership with the National Forest Foundation is the initiative we’re proudest of. For every solid wood desktop sold, we plant five trees in U.S. National Forests. That promise has added more than 480,000 trees to date, supporting reforestation, carbon capture, and biodiversity across the country. It’s one of the largest commitments of its kind in our industry, and it grows with every desk that leaves our warehouse.

Powered by the sun

Our Austin operations run entirely on solar. More than 1,500 panels on the rooftops of our offices and warehouses generate enough clean electricity to power 150 homes every year. This renewable energy keeps our lights, our shipping operations, and even the electric forklifts in our fulfillment center running, with enough surplus to feed back into the local grid.

The panels are even laid out to spell “UPLIFT Desk” from above, which is the kind of detail we couldn’t resist.

Less waste, better materials

In 2025, our warehouse recycling program kept 250,451 pounds of cardboard, shrink wrap, and foam out of landfills. Every shipment that leaves our facility is designed to minimize material waste, and the packaging that does get used is routed into recycling streams wherever possible.

The material choices matter just as much. Three of our most sustainable desktop materials stand out for how they’re sourced and what they give back.

Every material we source is selected with sustainability in mind. Browse our full lineup of standing desks to find the desktop that fits your workspace.

Certified safe for indoor spaces

All UPLIFT Desk laminates, from desktops to cabinets and wardrobes, are Greenguard-Gold certified for low chemical emissions. That certification comes from rigorous third-party testing under conditions designed to mirror actual use, and it’s recognized by the US Green Building Council, Green Seal, and the Green Guide for Health Care.

What it means in practice: confidence that our laminates meet strict limits on chemical emissions like formaldehyde. To earn the certification, materials have to meet standards set by agencies including the US Environmental Protection Agency, Germany’s Blue Angel Program, and California’s Department of Public Health — a high bar that confirms our laminates are safe for the spaces where you work and live.

Designed to last

The most sustainable desk is the one you never need to replace. Our frames are built around heavy-duty steel and backed by a long warranty, engineered to perform the same in year ten as they do in year one. When your workspace needs shift, our modular design makes it easy to swap in a new desktop and give the original one a second life on one of our standalone frames as a coffee table, side table, or secondary workspace. Keeping good materials in use is the quietest form of sustainability, and often the most effective.

Recognized in our own backyard

For the second year in a row, UPLIFT Desk was named Environmental Champion at the Greater Austin Business Awards. The award recognizes Austin businesses that demonstrate exceptional environmental practices and sustainable operations, and we’re honored to receive it. It’s a reflection of the work our team puts in every day, and a thank-you to the customers and partners who make this commitment possible.
