About

 

Coworking: getting your work done… but with other people nearby.

It’s that simple. Coworking is just what it sounds like: “co” means “not by yourself”,” and “working” means “what you do to make money and (we hope) inspire your passions.”

 
co prefix 1. together; joint or jointly; mutual or mutually2. indicating partnership or equality3. to the same or a similar degree work verb 1. to do work; labor.2. to be employed, especially as a means of earning one's livelihood
 

The growth of digital tools makes us more connected than ever. But these same tools can also leave us feeling isolated. While companies increasingly encourage employees to work from the place they feel happiest, those “remote” (non-location-based) workers may miss the stability and hospitality of a consistent workspace.

Entrepreneurs have exciting ideas, but need mentorship, connections, and room to grow. And as small businesses expand, they find themselves caught between the home office and the corner suite: too big, too small; too much support, or too little.

We meet visionaries, creatives, and location-independent professionals where they are.

Coworking offers the right fit to help remote workers feel connected, entrepreneurs make vital connections, and small businesses thrive.

There’s a movement happening around coworking spaces for good reason. They eliminate the time-sucking tasks and expenses that bog down business owners.

Ashland Works is a coworking space. We provide desks, private and semi-private offices, super fast internet, and conference rooms with flexible membership plans that fit your needs.

But we also provide something that goes beyond space. We’re building community, empowering remote workers, and stimulating the local economy in Ashland with a woman-owned business.

Membership gives you immediate access to the essentials you need to get down to business and provides you with direct access to a thriving community of skilled professionals.

Bottom line — it’s okay to choose your own path. And with the right support and community, you’ll find inspiration, motivation, and enrichment at each step of the journey.

Meet Abigail

 
 

Abigail Schilling is the founder of Ashland Works and Medford Cowork Collective and a Certified Coworking Space Operator from Jamie Russo’s Coworking Startup School. A former product manager and community manager at a coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles, Abigail’s career spans two decades of business, marketing, and management experience.

  • Abigail began her career working her way up in a company she was truly passionate about. She was on the right track with no place to go but up.

    But she wasn’t happy.

    Drained and burned out, Abigail quit and took a path less traveled.

    She joined a startup incubator and coworking space in a high-rise Los Angeles office where she could cross-pollinate with other entrepreneurs from all walks of worklife. For three years, she met other creative thinkers and gained value and insight into what makes a coworking space … well … work.

    She set out on the adventure of a lifetime, crisscrossing the United States in a vintage travel trailer.

    She visited, worked in, and learned from coworking spaces across the country. Along the way, she quickly became an expert in remote freelancing, turning a side gig on UpWork into a $50,000 business on a part-time schedule working as a business development coach and digital marketing strategist for entrepreneurs.

    Now Abigail has turned nearly 20 years of experience into a full-time passion project developing and maximizing resources to empower others.

    With a sort of “open road policy,” she blends the love and energy she receives from the great outdoors with a soul for strategy, helping others assess the big picture, map a vision, and create a roadmap.

    In 2018, Abigail planted herself in the place she’d never known she was looking for: Southern Oregon.

    Away from the city and congestion, the Rogue Valley had been a respite and favorite summer spot for Abigail as she visited grandparents in the area, a place she now calls home.

    Looking for a coworking place to work from, she realized she had the passion and purpose of creating the ideal place for others like herself to connect, collaborate, and grow.

    The result? Well, you’ll have to drop by and see for yourself. Book a tour.

 
 
 

Lightning round

Get to know your Ashland Works founder in a flash!

  • The business owners, service providers, freelancers, and hustlers who hit the streets (or the keyboard) every day to build something new.

  • Trying every vegetarian dish in Ashland, cycling the Greenway, and reading novels (downloaded to my Kindle with my JCLS library card, of course). But when I’m not here, I’m traveling — visiting far-flung friends and eating, walking, and learning my way through new places.

  • Rosie the Riveter a few years back or Lord Licorice (from CandyLand) when I was in college!

  • Greyson and Ever, whose feline work ethic (non-existent!) balances out my own.

    But mostly I’m passionate about collaboration, entrepreneurship, and the opportunities we create for ourselves (with a little help from a kickass network).

What are you creating? Drop me a line and let me know.
