Hi there! I’m Catherine.

I grew up in the Grandville/Wyoming area and went to Aquinas College to earn my bachelor’s degree in environmental science. After working in a laboratory for a couple of years, in 2000 I started an environmental consulting business. My husband and I moved to Grandville after the birth of our second child, and we quickly fell in love with the community. We have two dogs and enjoy taking them for walks throughout the neighborhood, being involved with our kids in their many activities, or heading downtown Grand Rapids for an evening with the symphony.

Over the last few years, I have tried to run my business with a hybrid system of being in the main office part time and working from home the remainder of the workweek. Due to constant distractions, this was a challenge for me. For this reason, I decided to open The ROSE as a place where myself and others could have some peace and quiet to work, without the expense of a full-time lease.

The idea for The ROSE was born out of a personal need for a dedicated workspace. Working from home can be challenging, with distractions often interrupting focus and productivity. Recognizing that many professionals in our community face similar struggles, we wanted to create a space that offers the tranquility and focus of an office environment without the rigidity. The ROSE is a place where you can work efficiently, free from the interruptions of home life, while also having the opportunity to connect and collaborate with others.
Comfort & Flexibility: We understand the challenges of working from home and the distractions that come with it. That's why we've created a space where you can find peace and flexibility to conduct your work on your own terms.
Community & Collaboration: The ROSE isn't just about having a place to work—it's about building connections. We foster an environment where members can collaborate, share ideas, and build lasting relationships with like-minded individuals.
Inclusivity & Support: We are committed to maintaining a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels valued and supported. Our community is built on mutual respect, where diverse perspectives and experiences come together to enrich the work environment.
Our hope is that The ROSE will become a cornerstone of Grandville’s growing downtown corridor. By providing a valuable service to local entrepreneurs and professionals, we aim to contribute to the personal growth and development of our community. With fantastic amenities like a coffee shop across the street, a chiropractor and eye doctor just downstairs, and a variety of lunch options within walking distance, The ROSE is ideally situated to support your workday. We envision a vibrant, thriving downtown where businesses like ours play a key role in the growth and success of the area, and we invite you to be a part of this exciting journey.
