A new co-working space in downtown Grand Rapids, Left Right Boom Collaborative, is all about bringing together “left brain thinking and right brain creativity.”
The space is located at 8 Ransom Ave NE and was founded by a trio of freelancers, Joe Morris, Rian Morgan and Terry Vanden Akker, all of whom started the business with a very specific target market in mind.
“We are geared for web dev, marketing, design and advertising professionals,” says Morris.
As successful freelancers, Morris says the founding team has an acute sensitivity to the needs these professionals. The space boasts a variety of features that help with both the creative process and with client consultations.
Amenities at Left Right Boom Collaborative include 48-inch or 72-inch Haworth sit/stand desks, wall space for mind-mapping, free use of a fully tricked out conference room, high-speed internet, coffee, a resource library, and something you don’t find to often in downtown, free parking.
“We understand the day-to-day workflow and needs of freelance creatives,” says Morris.
Besides the physical space, Morris says they anticipate that that there will be ample opportunity for members to collaborate on projects as the community grows. Future plans includes a Mastermind group for freelance creatives, portfolio days and ask-an-expert workshops.
There are several membership levels. Part-time membership (two days/week) begin at $100 for a 48-inch desk and $150 for a 72-inch desk. Full-time membership begins at $200 for a 48-inch desk and $250 for a 72-inch desk.
Besides the co-working spaces, Left Right Boom Collaborative also has a conference room that is available for individuals, teams and organizations to rent at $35 per hour or $140 per day.
