Why We’re Here

Chicago has a variety of shared workspace options, but most are located in the downtown area.

One of the goals at Second Shift is to provide a local, convenient, affordable, professional workspace right in your neighborhood – close to where you live and with the ability for you to meet your neighbors and get connected to your local community.

WHO WE ARE

Two friends, with a shared dedication to building

supportive, collaborative, and inclusive communities.

Nicole Vasquez, Co-Founder

Levi Baer, Co-Founder

See Our Members

“Nicole Vasquez and Levi Baer have both built careers around community: Vasquez is the founder of The Shift, a coworking space in Uptown, and Baer runs Coffee & Conversation, a community with a monthly meet up for entrepreneurs and innovators.

In the past they’ve combined their mutual talents and passion for community building by consulting for a coworking space and co-organizing CONVENE, a conference for coworking managers and owners.

Now the like-minded entrepreneurs are taking the next step: They’re opening the doors to Second Shift, a coworking space with a community focus in Logan Square, with the aim of expanding the coworking ethos outside the downtown tech crowd.
