This journey started in 2021 after I seriously pivoted from operating out of a cafe to outdoor markets. After knocking on doors in the northeast region of DC, I secured my first partnership with a major athleisure conglomerate, Lululemon. In partnership with Lululemon, I created space for local, small, and independent brands in DMV all while cultivating an atmosphere for potential and growth. Soon after, I secured partnerships with the H-Street Festival, NoMa BID, Georgetown BID, Jamestown LP, and a few others. See my list of partners here. 

In essence, Neighbors DC is a vibrant and festive, network-rooted marketplace and artisan hub. We work with entrepreneurs seeking retail space and vending opportunities to scale their brand; and conglomerates, BIDs, Main Streets, property management companies, and landlords to build vibrant and festive spaces. 

With 7000 and counting budding and blooming businesses: makers, artisans, artists, and global brands, Neighbors DC remains focused on its mission to take up space and life barriers for creative and small businesses. In addition, working with organizations to reimagine and reinvent public spaces that inspire culture, creativity, and innovation.
