Makeshift Society

Reason for visit: Workshop
Visit date: May 7, 2015
First time? Yes.
Street parking is tough, but doable. If you allot too much time to get there and arrive early, you can always get a pedi next door while you wait for your class to start.
This is a nice space, but the lighting is poor. I enjoyed the workshop very much and I’m sure the others they host are just as great. There are plenty of work areas, a kitchenette and bathroom, and lots of books. It was relatively quiet so if you work here you can get your concentration on.

Spend the money for a day pass vs hanging out in Starbucks. Great options for infrequent users, too. It’s beautiful, clean, quiet, lots of light, and not crowded. Very woman friendly, there were more women there than most places I see.
Ultimately I chose a different coworking space because I needed longer and weekend hours, but I wouldn’t hesitate to return here at all.

As soon as I walked through their door, I knew I was home.
The clubhouse is flooded with light and has comfortable seating for whatever way you want to work — on a long, communal table, on a comfortable couch, on a dentist’s chair, on a desk, by the windows. Members are mostly freelance creatives and small business owners in a wide variety of fields and everyone is friendly, open to collaboration, and brimming with ideas. You can get your work done and meet a lot of interesting people in the process.
I’ve been a member for a few months now and I have never been in a more creatively stimulating environment. From the people, to the events and workshops, to their substantial library of design and craft books, to the lovely interiors, there is no place I would rather be.

I’m so glad that this place exists. It runs the gamut of being whatever you need it to be it seems — it’s a classroom, a meeting space, a creative destination, a work space.. . you get the gist.
I attended a class here the other night — me and 30 or so mostly attractive, mostly young, mostly tattooed, mostly wearing big thick frames for glasses they don’t need, other ladies. I guess that must be what the creative type looks like! If that’s your type, now you know where to find them. And if that’s you, now you know where to find some new friends. You’re welcome.

A wonderfully lit, airy space to get work done. In a prime area with lots to eat and drink.

I *love* this space. I’ve had a couple of meetings here with clients/​collaborators and both were very positive and went super well– no small part of the credit goes to the good vibes and general impressive/​warm ambiance of makeshift. It’s a great place to meet/​work/​think and it’s located in a stellar neighborhood. I only wish I had more time during the week to come hang out here and attend makeshift events. Bonus: the cutest little ‘popup shop’ corner with a rotating selection of locally made [i think] goodstuff is also herein.
