The team behind our guides

Editors and researchers based in Chicago—with collaborators nationwide—who field-test desk setups before we publish.

Built from shared studio habits

Before publishing guides, we tested layouts in a small Chicago studio—swapping chairs, cable routes, and lamp positions until routines felt natural.

That practice still informs how we write: short steps, plain language, and respect for different body sizes and desk types.

Elena Marchetti

Editorial lead

Elena structures guides around real tasks—video calls, sketching, spreadsheet work—and trims jargon so teams can share them internally.

Jonah Pike

Workspace research

Jonah documents measurements, reach zones, and lighting angles on site visits. He focuses on repeatable checklists rather than gear endorsements.

Mira Okonkwo

Community listening

Mira gathers reader questions and maps them to new topics—hybrid weeks, shared desks, and compact apartment corners.

Leo Hartmann

Operations

Leo keeps publishing steady, handles data requests under GDPR, and coordinates updates when our policies or guides change.

How we work with readers

We answer setup questions by email, publish free articles, and offer optional guide licenses for teams. No high-pressure sales—just clear information.

  • Typical email reply: two U.S. business days
