Meet Désirée - our member of the month in September!

Introduction round: Who are you and where are you from?
Hello! My name is Désirée, I'm a content creator who has lived in various cities in Germany, but feels most at home in Berlin.

What made you come to Berlin?
First of all, Berlin is always exciting for me. No matter how many years I've lived here. Especially in summer, there is hardly any other place I would rather be. In addition, the city convinces me with its diverse facets, the multicultural offer and the attitude to life of the people living here.

What exactly do you do? What's in the pipeline for the near future?
I'm a content creator which means I create content on various platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. My main focus is the creation of YouTube videos. Currently I'm mostly trying to upload some sort of "mini documentaries" to YouTube.

Research, scripting, shooting, editing and SEO optimization - all that is part of a YouTuber's job. Often the workload of the YouTuber is greatly underestimated. The bottom line is that I spend 90% of the time behind the computer and only 10% of the time behind the camera. Operating other platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram, is of course something that takes up a lot of time in addition to the other tasks of a self-employed person. Nevertheless, I do not want to complain and I am very happy to be able to do this job.

Since when do you cowork at Office Club Berlin Prenzlauer Berg?
I am a member of office club since June this year.

What is the benefit of using a coworking space for you?
Surrounding myself with like-minded people really helps me focus on my work. I also need the physical separation from my home to be able to separate my personal life and my professional life. I have been working in co-working spaces for over 2 years now and it has made a noticeable difference in my well-being and quality of life.

Which questions / problems could you help your coworking neighbour with?
With all questions or problems around video production, social media, trend developments of the upcoming generation, influencer marketing, YouTube, Instagram and especially if you have questions around the new rising platform TikTok and how you can use these platforms for your marketing strategy, I am happy to help.

Do you have favourite spots in Berlin? Something to recommend / consider especially for people coming here?
There are just so many cool things to do here that it's hard to pinpoint what I would recommend. Therefore, a small list of things: visit the Thai Park on the summer weekends at Preußenpark, have a ride with a bike over the Tempelhofer Feld, enjoy a nice evening dinner in the Bergmannstraße in Kreuzberg or at the beautiful Umami restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg, have a good drink in one those bars: Limonadier (Kreuzberg), Gainsbourg & Monkey Bar (Charlottenburg), enjoy a nice quiche and a wine at the literature café in Mitte: Böse Buben Bar.

Thanks a lot and all the best to you!
