“Natasha, Matt and Jackie – I just wanted to send you all HUGE THANKS!! for the great work and support you bring to our community. The spaces you have created and thoughtfully manage are beautiful, clean, professional and always educational. Hog Island Oyster Co. appreciates so much having a go-to place for offsite meetings and in the words of one of our directors, “They always take such good care of us here.” And as someone who occasionally works from home, I appreciate having the option of a laundry free space to plug in and get to WORK. Thank you for what you have created.
~ Brenna Schlagenhauf (Marketing & Communications, Hog Island Oyster Co.)

~ Rosie Wiggins (Owner, The Drawing Board)
“WORK provided the professional space necessary for our nascent team to focus and execute until we were able to justify and move in to a permanent space. I couldn’t have done this from home.”
~ Fred Vaske (CFO, OnSwitch Energy)

“This place has truly transformed my work life. I work as a Senior Scientist for Merck Boston and have worked 8 of my 13 years for them remotely. I have experimented with all sorts of spaces at home and coworking. My boss recently commented that “there is a special enthusiasm I have for work these days” and a big part of it is thanks to WORK Petaluma. Couldn’t recommend it enough.”
~ Amit Kulkarni (Senior Scientist)

~ Doug Glew (writing his dissertation in psychology)
“Beyond a place to plug in is the community aspect; WORK is a place where major things are getting incubated. It’s not superficial branding.”
~ Elizabeth Howland (Co-owner Clementine Eco Events)
