For years, I've navigated the challenge of needing a dedicated space to create my Herbal Infusions & Artisan Tea Blends — without the overhead of a full commercial kitchen.
My passion for entrepreneurship and supporting people is a staple in my heart that carries over into creating a space just like this.
If you've ever made candles, blended spices, prepped food, or crafted handmade products and thought, "I need a space that makes sense", that is the space we are building.

I’ve spent years working in the restaurant industry and alongside entrepreneurs who were passionate about building something of their own. One thing I’ve seen over and over is that finding a kitchen or workspace is only part of the challenge.
What many entrepreneurs really need is a community people who believe in their vision, are willing to share knowledge, open doors, and help each other grow. Starting a business can be isolating, and having the right environment can make all the difference.
When people have both the tools and the community to succeed, they’re much more likely to turn great ideas into lasting businesses.

What We're Building
My business partner and I are opening a craft and storage kitchen inside a co-working space in Durham — an affordable, flexible space designed specifically for small batch creators and entrepreneurs who need room to work, store their materials, and grow their craft without breaking the bank.
This might be for you if you are a:
Candle or soap maker
Tea, spice, or herbal blend creator
Caterer or food prep entrepreneur
Small batch baker or confectioner
Body care or natural product maker
Any creative who needs a dedicated workspace

This space works best when it's filled with the right people. If someone in your network has been looking for exactly this — share this page with them. We'd rather fill it with community than strangers.
