Laptop Ergonomics

If you’re a remote worker, you rely on your laptop. They’re a great tool for on-the-go productivity, but we’ve yet to see one that’s designed with any ergonomic sensibilities. That means you could be risking discomfort or carpal tunnel if you’re not paying attention to laptop ergonomics. Desktop computers allow you to independently position your keyboard and your monitor for optimal wrist and neck positioning. Laptops don’t allow for that flexibility, forcing users to compromise ergonomics for portability. That…

Spring Cleaning in Your Office Space

The term Spring Cleaning has a number or origins. From cultural to religious reasons, but did you know that it can all come down to basic human biology? That’s right, your urge to clean comes from your body and the change of seasons. According to HowStuffWorks, our need to clean happens when warmer days start to roll around and our levels of melatonin decrease, which means more energy for us. Thank you, Sun! Spring Cleaning…

Making Goals Happen in Your Coworking Space

We all set goals, whether they’re small and easy to accomplish or rather large and occupy your days. The worst feeling can be when you set a goal and it goes nowhere because other priorities get in the way. However, 2020, might be your chance to reach those goals and rack up some serious achievements to kick off the decade. Whatever your goal may be, there are always little life changes that make those goals more…

Benefits of Hot Desking

What Is Hot Desking? Hot desking is a strategy for work environments where each employee has no specific desk each day. Instead, they share the workspace and all that encompasses it. No matter where they sit, they will have access to a desk for the day, phones, and computers. Hot desking often entails staggering work shifts. While hot desking may not be everybody’s cup of tea, there are important benefits to this kind…

Member Spotlight: Colby Gergen, UX Researcher & UX Architect

Meet Colby Gergen Q : Tell us a little about your career and journey C: I thought I was going to be a developer so I taught myself PHP (scripting language) a decade ago. I hated squashing the bugs I created and I knew I couldn’t be a graphic designer for a lack of being able to match colors. I knew I wanted to stay around software, but I fell into product management and UX before even knowing what those disciplines…
