I AM DEAN CONNELL

Workspace Interiors & FF&E Design Consultant

I specialise in creating sustainable furniture designs and workspace interiors that challenge my clients to be forward-thinking agents of change. Helping them develop and build the 'future of work'. I'm a creative thinker and product builder constantly looking to incorporate new, innovative technologies into my work. One such tech innovation is the Digital 'Crypto' Asset space. My side hustle is exploring new fintech 'DeFi' banking products and how the 'tokenisation' of physical assets can help create and sustain a circular economy using digital tokens and incentives.

I Help...

  • Workspace occupiers, operators and landlords looking for innovative interior design & FF&E solutions for their spaces.
  • Design professionals keen to specify sustainable and high-quality furniture for their interior projects.
  • Furniture makers and dealers who need help creating products that are sustainable and ready for a circular economy.
  • Technology, finance and circular economy enthusiasts keen to understand how crypto and blockchain can capture value by tokenising physical products. 

    Challenging norms and achieving scale:

    Between 2013 and 2020, I was one of the original seven designers at WeWork. As part of that original team, we built a product that disrupted the office market and brought 'coworking' and the flex office into the mainstream. 🏢

    My global experience includes delivering over 1.5 million square feet of workspaces in cities like New York, London, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, and more. 🌐

    Working to understand different cultures, I excelled at translating and blending a global brand with local needs. A local asset of sorts and someone with the heart and patience of a teacher - always leading by example and inspiring younger designers to be bold, think outside the box and express themselves. ✨

    I'm skilled in space planning and staging interiors from concept to completion, with expertise in bespoke furniture design and sustainable sourcing. I'm commercially minded and well-versed in collaborating on-site with contractors and project managers to deliver complex fit-outs on time and within budget. 💷

    Creating content and exploring the future of finance: 

    In addition to working as a design consultant, I'm a passionate advocate for financial literacy and personal finance. I create educational content to help people navigate the fascinating world of digital crypto assets, showing how this transformative technology can generate passive income and cash flow. 🚀
