Tumblr + GA’s Summer Blog Party at Garage Society

Exciting things were happening at Garage Society this past weekend! In celebration of Dash’s launch of their Tumblr lessons, General Assembly had influential fashion bloggers Elle Lee, JJ Acuna, and Jasmine Smith in-house to answer questions from eager blogging new-bies. These passionate bloggers and techies from across Hong Kong came in and networked for different ideas and designs to improve their blogs. Participants in the workshop learned how to design their own new Tumblr theme, customize their pre-existing blogs, and try their hand at writing some code! They had experts in UX and online development helping them figure out the basics of coding to design their very own themes. They sat for a panel discussion with three of the most influential fashion and design bloggers in Hong Kong. With help from the General Assembly team of experts, participants were able to bring their digital designs and ideas to life! After hours of coding and receiving feedback on their designs, everyone submitted their project results from the day. They had a raffle on the submissions and ten lucky participants walked away with a brand new Native Union Solo Travel Phone, sponsored by Native Union as part of their “We are HK Entrepreneurs” initiative! Garage Society has the Central location for your next workshop or seminar. Come check us out and make your next big event happen here! Get in touch with us at [email protected]

Garage Blog Maximising Productivity in Coworking Spaces: Tips and Tricks

With over a decade in Hong Kong's bustling coworking scene, I've witnessed firsthand the remarkable rise of shared office spaces in the city.

These dynamic spaces have revolutionised the way we work, offering a perfect blend of flexibility, community, and professional amenities.

According to a recent study by Coworking Resources, the number of coworking spaces worldwide is projected to reach a staggering 41,975 this year, marking a significant 42% increase from 2019 to 2024.

The appeal of coworking spaces is undeniable. They provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional offices, foster networking opportunities, and offer a vibrant atmosphere that can spark creativity and innovation.

However, with the myriad of distractions and the constant buzz of activity, maintaining productivity in these shared environments can be challenging.

So whether you're a freelancer, a remote worker, or part of a growing startup, these tips and tricks will help you harness the full potential of your coworking experience while keeping your productivity at its peak.
