FROM OUR MEMBERS

  • A woman with long blonde hair smiling and wearing a black blazer with gold buttons, a white shirt, and striped pants, standing in front of a detailed mural of a chicken.

    "In the four years I’ve been at The Roost my business has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I gain so much from being in an environment around other small businesses in the creative arena."

    JULIE EVANS INTERIOR DESIGNER

  • A smiling man with gray hair and beard, wearing a black t-shirt with a "Mountain Culture" logo, standing in front of a colorful abstract mural.

    "Joining The Roost Creative was one of the best moves I’ve made. Being surrounded by such a supportive, creative crew has really helped my business flourish."

    MICHAEL HEARNE BLACKFISH DESIGN

  • A woman with long dark hair laughing with her arms crossed in front of a colorful mural.

    "It’s been so nice to have a desk space away from home, where there’s always someone to go on a coffee run with and water my desk plants while I’m away."

    MELANIE LUM DEAKIN UNIVERSITY

  • A smiling man with glasses, a beige cap, a green plaid jacket, and beige pants standing in front of a vibrant mural with large leaves and a partially visible face on the left side.

    "Bouncing from contract to contract as a freelancer means you don't actually have regular co-workers you can be friends with. The Roost gave me a community, and a work family."
