Michaela Anchan

Michaela Anchan is the founder of Woolf Works, a co-working space dedicated to women. She started the space as she saw a need for women to escape the domestic sphere and all its distractions. Woolf Works is a calm, relaxed space to work productively and be part of a community of like-minded women. Michaela spends her days trying to build the community of Woolf Works and exploring ways to bring value to her current members. Sometimes, she finds a quiet afternoon to work on her Great New Zealand Novel, or a short story. Connect with her below!
