Johan is a fifth year student at Linköpings university currently finishing up his masters degree in technical design. He considers the user experience to be key in any design, thus writing his masters thesis within the scope of UX research and service design. The thesis, which is written in partnership with DoSpace*, aims to challenge current user classifications within coworking communities. Humans are difficult to classify due to the irrational nature of human behavior, and so hinders one from classifying users by driving forces. Instead, the study aims to define different driving forces within the coworking community to then rank and weigh these forces against each other.
