We’re excited to be partnering with Us By Night for the second consecutive year. The Antwerp-based design festival has already announced some of the lineup for this September’s festival, which has created a significant amount of hype 5 months out. We caught up with two speakers on the lineup, Ada Sokol and Alice Isaac, to discuss their creative approaches, favorite projects, advice for creatives, and why they’re excited to take part in Us By Night this year.

WNW PARTNERS WITH NEW
CO-EVERYTHING SPACE, AUXILIARY
We’d like to announce our partnership with newly-opened Auxiliary in NYC. The soaring 11,000 square foot retail level facility is part co-working space, part co-creation lab. It includes communal desks, a photo studio, fancy Eames chairs, eighteen 3D printers, laser cutters, a paint booth, hand tools, and a full wood shop. Plenty of places to cut a finger off. It’s complemented with Auxiliary’s engineers and designers who know how to use it all, to help you take that cocktail napkin sketch straight through to prototype and package design.
Auxiliary gives Working Not Working a home base for our NYC office and a collaborative environment for our members and the companies that hire them. We can now host gallery shows, hack-a-thons, workshops, salons, classes, speaking events and maybe even some yoga.
From Day 1, we’ve been driven to support the WNW community beyond connecting you for jobs. We want to support you in all of your creative endeavors, whether those are professional or personal. Now we have another opportunity and a place to do just that. We’ll probably have a bunch of parties, too.
WNW Members also receive 50% off daily access to the stuff you need like desks, tools and project space. Come by any day. 150 West 22nd Street, NYC
