FAQ

What do you mean by “co-working”?

Webster’s defines co-working as, “A really awesome thing to do when you don’t want to rent a whole dang office but you need a place for yourself or your business to call home.”

Okay, maybe that’s not the dictionary definition, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

So this is in OC Creative's office?

Yep! Many of us work from home now, so we wondered, "What can we do with the extra room?" The answer is: Let our friends come work with us! What are you waiting for?

What kind of spaces are available for me?

Our co-working space has first-come-first-served hot desks, dedicated desks, a conference room area we share with our co-working partners, and a few smaller amenities like our office kitchen space, which includes everything—even the kitchen sink.

The studio (not including the equipment) is available to our co-workers after a bit of training, and only during OC office hours with a member of OC staff present.

Are you closer to public library or band practice as far as noise level? What are your expectations for noise?

We’re not pin-drop silent, but we’re not singing and beating a tambourine, either. We take phone calls and help each other out on projects, chat, and prepare food. You’re welcome to work at a normal office level, take calls, chat, and conduct business. We promise we won’t send the librarian to shush you.

I don’t wanna be locked in to some contract. What can you do for me?

While we'd miss you dearly, we don't require any long-term memberships, and we won't make you jump through three rings of fire before parting ways (as awesome as that would look on your social media).

Yes, you will be asked to sign an agreement that promises you will play nice in our space. And yes, for the sanity of our accounting administration, we'd like you to sign up for your payment via reoccurring monthly credit card payments. But give us the word in writing (email, snail mail, proclamation nailed to our front door, etc.) and you will be able to stick around 'til the end of the month.

Is this a solo space, or can I bring a guest from time to time?

If you have a friend or colleague that is interested, we ask that they sign up for a one-day trial. Then, when they fall in love with the space like you did, we'll know how to get in contact with each other.

I’ve seen your dogs on social media and your website. Can I bring my dog to work?

While we’d love to meet your doggos, the pets you see online strolling around the office have been through a pretty thorough office-compatibility barrage. We make sure they all behave in a businesslike manner, don’t pee on the carpet, and don’t hurt anyone or each other.

But please, please, please show us pictures of your beloved companions. We already love them; we promise!

My business needs an address. Can you be a landing place for my mail?

We’re happy to be your mailbox. This is just a service we offer our co-working heroes. We’ll take and sort and deliver your mail to your desk or hold it for when you’re in, whatever you'd prefer.

Will I need to work a side job to afford co-working in your space?

Not at all. We know that renting a whole office can be super expensive. Maybe you just need a desk that isn’t an hour away. We have several tiers of pricing for the various spaces we offer.

I’m more of a “dip my toes” person than a diver-inner. Can I try before I commit?

Absolutely! We’re not one of those jerks who comes by and splashes you or pushes you in. We offer free one-day trial passes! At least until you fall in love with having your own space and decide to plant a flag (metaphorically, anyway—please don't jam a flagpole in the floor without prior approval).
