Staff Designer

Peerspace invites people to find, share, and book the most magical spaces in the world. Since 2014, our community has been opening the door to thousands of spaces – from lofts and mansions to storefronts and studios – helping people to create one-of-a-kind experiences that would not be possible elsewhere. In total, over 10 million people have been welcomed into a Peerspace location, and we’re looking for people who want to help us reach the next 100 million.

At Peerspace, it’s our goal to make every space a source of inspiration and creativity for businesses and professionals across the world. We solve problems in the short-term real estate market which means we have to empathize with our guests and hosts to uncover unmet needs.
