Letters + Lattes

Discover reflections on modern work, coworking culture, and slow productivity in Letters + Lattes: a journal from Kendra and the ko&co workhub community, written with intention (and coffee).

Welcome to Letters + Lattes.

The journal from ko&co workhub, a flexible, community-first workplace in South Melbourne for solopreneurs, creatives, and small business owners doing work on their own terms.

This is where we slow down, reflect, and write about what comes after the 9 to 5: better rhythms, modern productivity, creative flow, solo business life, and the human stuff in between.

If you’ve outgrown traditional office culture but still want clarity, connection, and a little meaning in your workday – pull up a chair. You’re in the right place.
