Meet JB

Senior Web Architect and Tea Connoisseur at The District Coworking

In the world of web development, JB’s a digital wizard who predominantly works remotely for a major California higher education institution, crafting seamless online experiences. She brings a quirky charm with her that brightens up the space — and her dedicated desk tells the story. Among her work essentials, you’ll find a solar-powered waving Queen of England and an assortment of wind-up toys that never fail to delight passers-by. JB’s the kind of person whose warmth and personality make her unforgettable, blending lighthearted fun with her critical work. And it’s at The District she discovered the perfect balance of productivity and community with a dash of canine companionship.

“I live alone and work alone, and I was going crazy,” JB laughs, reflecting on what first led her to The District. “I needed a place to be amongst people.” After checking out a few coworking spaces, The District was the clear winner. “It’s clean, bright, modern — and the cold brew is glorious.”

The dedicated desk JB rents isn’t just a practical choice for her oversized monitor. It’s a little slice of home, complete with her carefully curated tea set. Yes, JB is a self-proclaimed tea enthusiast. “I have my tea there — it helps me focus.”

But what really sets The District apart for JB is the energy of the space. “It’s clean, warm and friendly, but also quiet enough to concentrate,” she says. “And people bring their dogs, which is not just okay — it’s good.” JB finds this small perk one of the many charms of the space. Plus, the natural light and high ceilings? Total productivity boosters.

JB’s typical day at The District is a mix of focus time and occasional neighborhood exploration. While she often comes in later in the day, she enjoys the convenience of downtown Eugene, whether it’s grabbing something delicious at Sushi Pure or taking a breather at J. Michael’s Books.

Though she hasn’t collaborated with fellow coworkers for business yet, JB enjoys the sense of connection. “The people are nice. There’s just the right amount of folks around — not too many, not too few.” And while she’s not at The District every day, the perks — like the monthly happy hour, free snacks and even mail service — keep her coming back. Plus, she’s pretty thrilled about that accessible gym at the Gordon Lofts.

In a world where remote work can sometimes feel isolating, The District has become more than just a workspace for JB. It’s a place where she can enjoy moments.
