Guide to The Chicest Workspaces in Los Angeles

For those of us who don’t have a traditional office job, wouldn’t it be amazing to work from chic workspaces in Los Angeles that is more like a community than an office space? I set out to discover such communities and social clubs. Here’s a Guide to the Chicest Workspaces in Los Angeles.

Living in Los Angeles, I meet so many people who are freelancers and work from home or workspaces. Bloggers. Influencers. Social media managers. Producers. Writers. Photographers. Startups. Nutritionists. Stylists. Working from home has so many advantages but yet comes with many distractions. Also, meeting with clients is not ideal at home. Some turn to coffee shops and others invest in workspaces. Workspaces don’t have to look and feel like an office – that’s why we didn’t choose an office job. There are chic workspaces that feel like a community.
