Love the friendly staff and the heavy emphasis on recycling

Great inclusive space to work while I am in town needing to access a secure quiet work space. Highly recommend. Owner is very friendly.

Excellent. Excellent co-work space and well-spring of innovative GOOD work.. The “David” to the Trailhead’s “Goliath”, Inspo Alley has key competitive advantages. To name a few: ample space, dedicated phone booths and conference rooms, and a fair multi-tiers of membership. Join as a hot desk, dedicated desk or more, and you’ll have limitless entry and use of the space, which includes hyper-speed WiFi, printing, and all the coffee and fresh pure water you care for. Bonus: fridge and microwave, for us brown-baggers. I’ve found IA to be welcoming and accommodating to newcomers, and passers-through.. Oh, extra bonus: a ping pong table, on which, through certain spans of time, members do fierce and fun battle, furthering the community spirit.. A typical IA member is N, who has the whole “right-side of brain / left-side of brain” going on. By day she diligently researches and prepares UX plans for leading higher-ed and other esteemed orgs. By night she has a popular line of cartoonish characters drawing from her animation and artistic skills. Knowing N has given me ideas about what is possible, and she has generously given me advice on both the usability and design fronts.. I have yet to meet a bad egg at Inspo Alley.. It's under-stated how much of a marvel the physical space really is. Wander around, and find and see (and sit!) on stylish, well-apportioned furnishings very thoughtfully selected by WOM (wife of manager). And the building itself is the beacon that is the Oliver Russell home, with its storied history (a former auto service center--love that) and truly inspiring murals (hello, Dolly!).. A bit more words about the comforts.. any office could stock coffee beans, but what about locally roasted beans, of several origins, from an affiliated company called Happy Brands? Happy Brands, my god, yes, such a thing exists, there is hope for the world after all, and only would IA be a trusted ally of it.. A co-working location must be judged not only by its offerings but by its mgmt, so allow me to conclude with these words about the owner:. My enthusiasm for Russ as a person and businessperson is UNQUALIFIED; an endorsement I can rarely give.
