In the May of 2018, I graduated from the University of Maryland. 3 months later, I started Hive Creatives, (then known as dp Marketing Company)! I knew I was creative, I knew I was motivated, and I knew I didn’t want to work a 9-5 job. I had no idea whether it'd be successful or a failure. But I made the decision to do what makes ME happy instead of what was expected of a recent college grad. I decided that I wasn't going to waste any time doing something that I didn't love or that I wasn't passionate about just because that was the norm or the "safer" option. I chose to believe in myself. And let me just say, it was the right choice! 2 years later and I’ve combined what lights me up with what I'm good at, and created a successful business from that. It is truly a beautiful thing when passion and skill combine.

One of the most difficult things about working from home is the fact that my 'work' is always there. I don't have the ability to leave an office at the end of my shift or to "clock-out" at the end of the day, (both literally and figuratively!) While I have a physical place to call my "workspace" at home, it has always been difficult to detach myself from my work at the end of the day. 👩🏼💻 I am ALWAYS on the clock and no matter what, my work is with me at all times.
That’s where The CoCo came in! After attending a workshop last summer hosted by my business coach at the time, I was hooked! The CoCo has given me the opportunity to not only get out of the house, (and let's be real, before joining this co-working space, I'd go DAYS without leaving my house 😂...), but it's provided me with a space to learn, work, connect, & network with like-minded women. I'm so thankful to be a part of this incredible, women-centered co-working community that is filled with the most supportive, inspirational, and bad a** women! 🧡
