Shane Austin is a professional designer with a passion for community building. During his years wearing an ‘entrepreneur's hat’ he's been growing a coworking business, consulting on product design and user experience, and volunteering for a non-profit aimed at digital professionals.
As a designer, Shane has a track record of successes, with over fourteen years of experience with medium to large projects. He's worked in agency, corporate, government and educational settings. Shane believes that better results are obtained by early problem definition, clear and sustained communication and rapidly iterating through solutions, by involving all stakeholders throughout the process.
Okanagan coLab - Kelowna Coworking Space is a beautiful and inspiring collaborative workspace that Shane has helped to build from the ground up, which encompasses these ideals.
