How can I make WeWork work better?
Info:
WeWork’s global network of shared workspaces is more than just real estate: it’s a systematic approach to how people work, collaborate, and thrive in an era of evolving workplace expectations. As hybrid work becomes the norm, office environments must balance efficiency, flexibility, and experience, ensuring that spaces are not only cost-effective but also enhance productivity, well-being, and adaptability.
At its core, WeWork operates at the intersection of spatial intelligence, real estate strategy, and digital integration. With over 750 locations worldwide, each space needs to serve businesses of all sizes while maintaining a consistent design language, operational scalability, and financial viability. From rethinking office layouts for greater revenue generation to exploring the future of crypto-enabled workplace transactions, I helped WeWork continue to push the boundaries of spatial experience design.
- Optimization: Created new office layouts from existing properties that catered to a diverse range of occupants, from small startups to enterprise-level tenants.
- Scalability: Productized design elements that balanced aesthetic consistency with localized adaptability, ensuring a cohesive yet flexible global WeWork experience.
- Interdisciplinary Processes: Worked across real estate, product management, MEP, and design teams to refine experiential layouts to meet every vertical’s requirements.

Key Contributions:
- Productizing Adaptive Reuse: Created a data-informed methodology to identify underperforming existing properties into higher revenue-generating properties. Focused on identifying repeatable, high-impact spatial interventions that mainimized renovation work to maximize profitability without compromizing member experience.
- Research & Ideation: Directed research into crypto-enabled workspace transactions, digital workplace integration, and decentralized finance (DeFi) workflows to future-proof WeWork’s offerings.
- Operational Playbook: Documented best practices and strategic recommendations that allowed teams to efficiently replicate successful adaptive reuse transformations across the entire real estate portfolio, ensuring consistency across multiple WeWork locations. Personally oversaw 200+ successful implementations.
