Founder & CEO, CoCoCreate by CultureSchool
Creative equity infrastructure for independent educators, wellness practitioners, and cultural entrepreneurs — the most underserved segment of the $47B creator economy.
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.
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.
Templates purchased once and owned forever. Reload for any occasion — the same beautiful foundation, infinitely reusable. Lock-in through value, not friction.
Core moatA proprietary color and palette system that customizes every template to any culture or context. Independently licensable. Defensible architecture.
Patent pendingOrganized around moments — not categories. Class launch. Wellness gathering. Milestone celebration. The only platform where cultural identity is a design feature, not an afterthought.
Owned categoryA built-in AI creation assistant that makes customization accessible to practitioners who don't think of themselves as designers — and shouldn't have to.
Live Shopify marketplace, Supabase authentication and database, webhook integrations, and a 250+ asset library. Production-grade from day one.
À la carte ($15–$45), pack bundles ($32–$75), all-access subscription ($18/mo), and institutional palette licensing. Compounding value drives retention.
Not seeking funds to build what doesn't exist. Seeking funds to scale what already works.
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.
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.
