Cowork Frederick

Work for yourself, not by yourself.

Meet the Members of Cowork Frederick

The best thing about Cowork Frederick is the people.

Who are we?

We are software developers, marketers, attorneys, writers, engineers, project managers, scientists, and more. We are independents and freelancers, teleworkers, creatives and entrepreneurs. We could work anywhere, but we choose to come together to do our work in the building at 122 E Patrick St.

Why?

Because together is better (TM) isn’t just our tag line. We really do believe we are happier and healthier when we are part of a community.
