Our Portland Autodesk office took the Autodesk tagline of “Make Anything” quite literal. We moved into this beautifully restored downtown central eastside Portland office a year ago.

Several of our employees commute to the office by bike and I have once again joined them as a I am a fair-weather bike commuter.
