Little Space Studio is the creative professional’s solution to finding a suitable workspace as well as a creative working community. At our studio, we strive to make every creative professional feel comfortable in our collaborative environment.

Little Space Studio is a woman-owned coworking space and incubator designed with Grand Rapids creative professionals and startups in mind. Established in 2016, the Studio strives to answer the problem of a lack of effective, well-designed workspaces for creative professionals.

Alysha Lach White started Little Space Studio in a 700 sqft location in the former Steelcase building on Hall St in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In this space, she began prototyping programs and amenities that would support a membership that had very specific needs. Initially, the membership consisted of roughly 12 professionals that fell into the ‘creative’ classification – everything from illustrators and designers to photographers and videographers. Each one worked for themselves and identified as freelancers within the community. This gave Alysha the opportunity to focus on a target market, creative freelancers.

As the Little Space Studio further grew, programming developed that supported the target demographic. Crafted to educate, uplift, and provide opportunities, the Studio was now intentionally providing content and support that creatives desired. Soon, there were Meetup groups regularly borrowing the Space, sharing their ideas and introducing a whole new communities to the concept of creative coworking.

In 2018 Little Space Studio had officially outgrown the Hall St. location and began looking for a larger space in the heart of the city. After connecting with the owner of the iconic Harris Building, it was learned that there was space on the third floor for rent. We went about touring the space and were hooked. It needed a significant remodel, so it was decided to temporarily occupy a part of the first floor. This temporary solution became ours as well and we built out the first floor into a fully outfitted space in the fall/winter of 2019. All that was left was the third floor!

During this time, Little Space Studio grew its staff to tackle the day-to-day operations of the space and its programming. This dedicated team worked hard to manage the needs of the community, the coworkers, and the future planning for the opening of the third floor space. In early 2020, that third floor construction began and it quickly turned into a very large project. This construction project was nearly complete when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, freezing all work.

We anticipate being done and officially opening our physical space by August of 2020 barring any other complications. In the meantime, we have launched a Digital membership to get our community plugged in. We can’t wait to officially welcome you into our roughly 6,000 sqft space crafted for creative freelancers!
