DEVIN VERMEULEN
Creative director, WeWork
Founded in New York in 2010 by Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey,
WeWork now has more than 500 locations in nearly 100 cities around the
globe, expanding with new brands including Powered by We (customized
workspaces), Rise by We (wellness club), We Live (flexible, community
living spaces), and elementary school concept WeGrow. Creative director
Devin Vermeulen, with past lives as a DJ, photographer, architect, and store
designer for Brooklyn Industries, has been with WeWork since its scrappy
inception. He described to attendees the brand's rapid expansion, propelled
by the alluring, inclusive We Generation.

The benefits of working with others

A true community hub

An important part of the coworking empire is to improve life for its
members. After WeWork installed a beer keg in one office, a commuter
was finally able to hang out with colleagues for happy hour instead of
rushing off to catch a train. Other WeWork amenities like a pool, theater,
and game room are resources some small companies would otherwise
forego. "A lot of what we're doing is rooted in this idea of culture," he says,
adding that they are trying to humanize the world one office at a time.

Emotion before design

WeWork champions an "age-nostic" mindset where members are united
by a commitment to more passionate, meaningful work. Like hospitality,
anticipating what guests need before they do is at the core of WeWork's
philosophy. "Everything is rooted in psychological experience." WeWork
creates a home that functions as an office with a "gradient of spaces."
Lounges, for instance, are bustling hangouts where people chat and eat
together over loud music. By contrast, the quiet room calls to mind college
libraries with naps unfolding in bean bag hammocks.

Coworking was a relatively new concept when WeWork launched in
New York's SoHo neighborhood. "We realized we were competing with
people who were working at home, and home was free, it was comfortable,
it was cozy," he says. Branded as a platform for creators, WeWork
offered something intangible that made leaving one's own kitchen table
worthwhile: working alongside a like-minded community. Feeding off that
energy to find new inspiration remains invaluable, he says.
