Announcing Okanagan co+Lab

by
Shane Austin

We’re glad to finally announce that a collaborative space is coming to the Okanagan! It has been a long time coming but we’ve finally secured a fantastic space and are excited to tell the community all about it. The Okanagan co+Lab will be located in the Kelowna Innovation Centre and is a funky open concept with high ceiling and lots of natural light. Members will not only be surrounded by  brilliant minds within the space but will also be in close proximity to many other technology companies at the top of their game. It is designed to give freelancers all the benefits an office without the boring hum-drum of a traditional office.

Some of the benefits:

  • a dedicated desk
  • access to meeting/video conference rooms
  • outdoor patio
  • high speed internet (fiber into to the building)
  • all the inspiration and collaboration you can handle!

 

Pricing will be from $250 per month (parking and insurance additional).

Open house

We will be hosting an Open house in the next few weeks (details to be announced May 3rd) for potential members to meet with each other and see the space first-hand. Members from Accelerate Okanagan will be on-hand to explain the programs and features of the Kelowna Innovation Centre.

Looking forward to collaborating with you!

“Learn. Envision. Create. Observe. Grow.

I am a business owner and professional designer with a passion for community building. During my years wearing an ‘entrepreneur’s hat’ I’ve been growing a coworking business, consulting on product design and user experience, and volunteering for a non-profit aimed at digital professionals.

As a designer I have a track record of successes, with over fourteen years of experience with medium to large projects. I’ve worked in agency, corporate, government and educational settings. I believe that better results are obtained by early problem definition, clear and sustained communication and rapidly iterating through solutions by involving all stakeholders throughout.

Highlights:

• Designed User Interface systems for enterprise products with millions of users and hundreds of implementations.
• Developed design solutions for complex environments in education, healthcare and government.
• Demonstrated leadership in multiple areas, including creative direction, project management, and community management.
• Taught several design classes over the years, and continue to mentor and coach other industry professionals.
• Created and facilitated a series of over 70 workshops that continue to grow the professional community by advancing the knowledge and use of User-centred and UX design practices. “
