Coast Catalyst Accelerator Program Participants

Hi everyone!

It was such a joy meeting you all this week. I honestly walked away feeling so welcomed. It’s rare to find a group of such pure-hearted and driven people. I already feel like we’re all going to thrive through this program!

Since we’re a room full of creatives, I’d love to bring us together outside of the 'business' side of things. I’m dreaming of a monthly 'Creation Day'—a space where we can meet up, hang out, and just create without any rules or deadlines. It’s a big part of my purpose and what I'm building with Gaia Art Hub, and I'd love for you to be a part of it.

Let’s stay connected and keep the momentum going!

Hi everyone,

What a great session last night! It was wonderful connecting with so many of you. I wanted to share my socials and links to my work so we can stay in touch.

While I don't have a dedicated page up for Our Story just yet, I’d love to connect on my creative IG where I share my creative process:

Since we spent a lot of time talking about storytelling, I wanted to share a short video of an art installation I did on Granville Island called Drift. The project was all about creating space for pause, reflection, and pure human connection—values that are at the heart of what I’m building now.

I hope it inspires you to share the stories behind your own work!

Hi everyone! Jess and I are so excited to welcome you to the Coast Catalyst program! We’re thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to see where this journey takes you.

This space is yours—use it to connect, ask questions, share wins (and challenges!), and support one another as you build and grow. We’ll be here along the way to support you however we can.

Feel free to introduce yourself below and share a bit about your business or what you are hoping to get out of the program!
