01   The Problem

They do
beautiful
work.

There are 1.2 million independent educators, wellness practitioners, and cultural entrepreneurs generating real economic and cultural value in the United States. They run Afro-Caribbean dance studios, sound healing practices, homeschool collectives, and cultural pop-up markets.

Their work is trusted. Their communities are tight-knit. Their impact is real. And their digital presence has never matched the depth of what they do.

"The gap between quality of work and quality of digital presence is not a cultural problem. It's an infrastructure problem — and nobody built the infrastructure."

Canva gives them a blank canvas. Squarespace gives them a learning curve. Linktree gives them a list of links. None of them were built around the occasions that define how these communities gather, celebrate, and create.

CoCoCreate was. Every template is organized around a moment — a class launch, a wellness gathering, a milestone celebration. Purchased once. Owned forever. Reloaded for the next one.

What We
Built

CoCoCreate is a reloadable digital template platform and AI-assisted creation space. A practitioner buys a landing page in January, reloads it for spring retreat, updates it for fall workshop — same gorgeous foundation, new details every time. No subscription renewal. No developer. No starting over.

♻️

Reloadable Architecture

Templates purchased once and owned forever. Reload for any occasion — the same beautiful foundation, infinitely reusable. Lock-in through value, not friction.

Occasion Intelligence

Organized around moments — not categories. Class launch. Wellness gathering. Milestone celebration. The only platform where cultural identity is a design feature, not an afterthought.

03   The Founder

Why me.
Why this.

I built CoCoCreate because I was the person it was built for — for fourteen years. A wellness practitioner, a community organizer, a cultural entrepreneur. I knew exactly what was missing because I lived inside the gap.

I designed and built the full platform myself — marketplace, AI guide, Supabase authentication, Shopify integration, and the patent-pending palette engine — for $200 a month over one year. That's not a bootstrapping story. That's a proof of concept.

My background spans nutrition science, product management at scale, and a decade of community trust-building. I don't have to learn this market. I am this market.

04   Let's Talk

This is the right moment.

AI removed the cost of creativity and made intentionality the scarce resource. CoCoCreate gives intentional creators the infrastructure to be seen — beautifully, and on their own terms. We're at the proof-of-concept stage with the traction to prove it and the community to scale it.
