My Workspace

A WORKING HOLIDAY IN IBIZA

Millie-Mae Twort has already proven herself an inspiration as one of Huckleberry Partners’ youngest Associates, working on The View from The Shard, Comic Relief and Crosta & Mollica for Huckleberry. Here she provides more food for thought with her ability to change up her workspace, not just with a new view, but in an entirely new country.

A little work holiday…

One of my favourite places to work is in Ibiza. I was lucky enough to spend some time last year staying in apartments full of other self employed people who travel and work at the same time. I get a great breakfast (usually blueberry pancakes and iced coffee) every morning and look out across the pool whilst I settle down to work. It’s great to get away when my workload isn’t too full. Having the flexibility to work abroad is amazing, and has opened my eyes to a different way of life out of the office.

My working day, at home and away

Usually my working day is 8:30am-5:00pm with an hour for lunch in England, but in quiet periods it’s great to change my environment completely and spend some of the day relaxing. In Ibiza I work solidly for a few hours in the morning and then an hour or so in the afternoon depending on the size of my inbox and to do list! I spend the rest of my time reading (I’m now reading Disclaimer by Renée Knight), exploring the Island and meeting new like-minded people – with the occasional night out.

Inspiration in new people

I love being around so many different people. In Ibiza I stay in a worker’s apartment where everyone has a unique job and everyone seeks advice from one another. Also being in the sunshine every day is no bad thing!

Where else I work

There are other places I enjoy working from in England. One is Walnut’s Café in South East London – it’s very near my house so easily accessible. Their wifi is great, the food is excellent and affordable and they have a lovely outside seating area for when it’s sunny. It’s also nice to see familiar faces as the cafe is so close to my home and provides a real sense of community.

A little creative buzz

Sometimes it’s great to be in a quiet environment when working on things that require a lot of concentration, but at other times I like to be around people in a workspace to help creativity. I enjoy bouncing my ideas off of other people. I love working at Huckleberry Home (I have only missed one since the very beginning) as it provides a great environment to work collaboratively with other members of your team. It also helps me to build a more personal relationship with colleagues. Working remotely sometimes makes this hard and Huckleberry Home is the perfect solution.

What I can’t live without when working…

Good wifi and an endless supply of tea. I also always have my notebook, pen, charger and laptop. And usually a good playlist!
