Cheers to Createscape Members
One of the best parts of being a long-time member of a coworking office is meeting new colleagues and bearing witness to fellow coworkers bootstrap a brand new business and watch it take off. We’ve seen it much more than a few times at Createscape. Here are some of the folks we’ve watched launch a business from scratch and while some may have outgrown their designated desks or small private offices here, we’re still very much connected with them through Austin’s professional community.
Member Q&A with Amy Childester
I noticed a sticker around the office with 💛 4 Ukraine in bold font and a QR code. When I couldn’t logon to the site, I tracked down the member who distributed the stickers, Amy Chidester. That’s when I heard an incredible story. In this member Q&A, we talk with Amy about her brave team in Ukraine and why she loves her work so much.
Van Life and Coworking: A Perfect Match
Createscape is a great space for van-lifers! Throughout the year, we have a few members who identify as members of this nomadic community. While it's a lifestyle that was favored primarily by retirees, thanks to our wireless world, more and more young professionals are living out of an RV or a converted van full-time. Check out this Q&A with two our current van life members, Carly and Spencer.
