about us
but first, a little about you
You have a lot of balls in the air. And you like it that way. You’re running a household, staying involved with the community, and making an impact at work. But your workspace may be holding you back. Working from home is somehow both lonely and distracting (laundry? barking dogs?), coffee shops aren't cutting it anymore, and you're done retreating to your car for quiet phone calls.
Dayhouse Coworking is a serene, creative workspace in downtown Highland Park, IL in Chicago’s North Shore suburbs established in 2019. Amenities include private offices, conference rooms, mail reception, a mind-body room, kids programs in a soundproofed room, lactation room, and more. Dayhouse is an easy walk to downtown Highland Park shops and the Metra station. We’re woman-owned, and open to all. #makeyourdaybetter at Dayhouse!

our members
Among our members you’ll find writers, tech founders, real estate professionals, architects, and more. Some are small business owners, others work remotely for larger corporations. We get together virtually and in-person for an array of programing such as work sprints, member happy hour, business speakers, and masterminds. Many are parents and appreciate our holistic approach to member services (i.e. we know you’re more than just your job title). We’re all drawn to Dayhouse’s creative atmosphere and friendly, supportive community.
our space
We're housed in a vintage industrial space, unlike anything else on the North Shore. Inside our c. 1930 building, you'll find exposed brick and beams, big windows, and gorgeous wood floors (think West Loop vibes with suburban convenience). Dayhouse is an easy walk to downtown Highland Park shops, the Metra station, and the best amenities of this vibrant lakeside town.
our team
Jen Luby
Founder (left)
Jen is a community builder passionate about supporting working parents. With a background in communications and event production, she excels in making connections and bringing people together in a hospitality-centric environment. The concept for Dayhouse arose from her own desire to find a supportive environment while (attempting to) work from home. She serves on multiple philanthropic boards supporting cultural institutions in and around the Chicago area and lives in Highland Park with her family.
Jessica Erickson
Community Engagement Director (right)
Jessica drives community engagement for Dayhouse. A master bridge-builder, she uses her background in non-profit fundraising to cultivate "member happiness" and community through her never-ending list of superpowers.
Jen and Jess met in 2009. Jessica had just created a new young professionals board at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Jen was a charter member. Now they work together as Team Dayhouse, and are active in the coworking movement as leaders and learners. Stop by sometime and say hello!
