Design Annex was bustling with people at the grand opening and open house last week for the new coworking space for designers and creatives in Somerville’s Union Square. In between meeting a lot of interesting people, I shot a few photographs and here’s the gallery. Click on each photo to see a larger image.

I recently joined forces with Union Square Main Streets to work with Executive Director Mimi Graney on web projects including refreshing the Union Square Main Street’s website and social media projects. As part of the collaboration, I’m working out of their new Design Annex coworking space that Union Square Main Streets recently opened above Precinct. Established for designers and other creatives, the Design Annex offers desk space and other office perks for freelancers who typically work from home.

On Thursday, October 15th Design Annex is hosting an open house from 4-6pm. Anticipated guests include:

Mayor Joseph Curtatone, City of Somerville
Jason Schupbach, Creative Industry Director, MA Office of Economic Development
Beate Becker, DIGMA (Design Industry Group of Massachusetts)
Kathy McCabe, President, Mass Economic Development Council
Meri Jenkins, Adams Arts Program, Mass Cultural Council

If you’re curious about Design Annex (especially if you are a designer/creative) — stop by on Thursday, October 15th 4-6pm to see the space. The address is 66-70 Union Square, Somerville.
