FIRST PLACE – PEOPLE’S CHOICE
Interior designer Maureen Stevens — of Maureen Stevens Design — is currently working from the sunroom of her house in New Orleans’ Marigny Triangle. The room overlooks a courtyard that Stevens said is in rare form. “My plants and flower beds are looking more beautiful than ever as I’ve had more time to take care of them,” she said. “And yes, sometimes I have long chats with them too.”

Even juggling distractions from family members, roommates and four-legged coworkers of all shapes and sizes, however, we’re getting it done.
In April, Biz New Orleans celebrated the rise of the new workplace with a reader photo contest. From massive Zoom screenshots to, well, goats, we enjoyed every single entry. Thank you to all that participated!
