Creators' Clubhouse
A league of it's own.
Feeling like I wanted to do more to help people, I moved back home to South Carolina and founded Creators' Clubhouse, an employment website and professional development company that offered career resources and networking opportunities (mostly in-person events) for a rapidly growing community of creative professionals. One of our most successful events was a latte art competition (what can I say...I do love coffee!) During that time I set out to build a digital marketplace where clients and freelancers could connect with one another.
This process led me down a road of learning basic Ruby on Rails, Heroku, and Amazon Web services and served as a crash course in the complexities and unique problems solving skills required in the life of a coder. I distinctly remember troubleshooting a line of Javascript, which was holding up our launch date, and upon resolving the issue, dancing around the room with excitement. In the end, despite my best entrepreneurial enthusiasm and most noble of efforts, the numbers didn’t work out, and I decided to move on.
Community Roots
The organization helped a lot of people find roles and find meaning. We had some great events!
