Our Community

Borderlands is much more than a workspace, we are a community of creatives and business owners focused on supporting each other. We do this by being a sounding board for ideas or to break through obstacles, being a co-worker when we have none and by advocating for one another through referrals. Borderlands is home to the following people and businesses:
