When Jennifer isn’t at Hygge or planning the next big event you can find her somewhere in Charlotte taking photos of her food.
Sean Rogers
Community Manager
Sean is Cofounder and Developer at smpl. With a degree in mechanical engineering, and a background in sales, he somehow found himself writing code for a coworking software company. When he isn’t working, you’ll find him riding his bike, reluctantly going for a run, or trying to tell flat-earthers about calculus.
Meg Seitz
Writer / Content Strategy
Meg Seitz is the Founder & Managing Creative Partner at toth shop, a content creation & strategy agency that thrives from Hygge’s Third Ward location. An OG member, Seitz joined Hygge the first week it opened back in November 2015. Her business doubled in size the year she committed to coworking.
In 2016, she and Julia Murray teamed up to write about and photograph 45 members of the Hygge community. Her biggest takeaway from over 1,750 minutes of interviews with Hygge members? Entrepreneurship is the toughest game out there; surround yourself with the weird and wild people who understand that. It’ll be a hell of a lot more fun.
Julia Murray
Photographer / Content Strategy
Julia Murray launched Julia Fay Photography as a side hustle to make a buck during her sophomore year of college. Fast forward five years – she’s photographed over 70 weddings across North and South Carolina and helped hundreds of small business owners stand out with unique, visual content.
As a Flex member, Murray is the quintessential Hygge hopper, bouncing between any and all Hygge locations. The highlights of her days include when someone else makes the coffee and working on the weekly Hygge blog with creative partner in crime, Meg Seitz.
