Hi Reader,

January was a busy (and exciting) start to 2026 for the Drio team. Full of meaningful collaborations, founder support, and projects we’re proud to put our name on. Below is a quick recap of what we’ve been up to, plus a look ahead at a big moment on the calendar: Monument Women’s Creative Alliance’s 4th Annual International Women’s Day Soirée on March 5 at Towson University.

✨ Client Spotlight: Ohana Growth Partners Website Redesign

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Coven, a local creative agency, on the redesign and development of the Ohana Growth Partners website. Our team worked closely together to bring Ohana’s vision to life through a modern, on-brand website that clearly communicates who they are and what they stand for. From the beginning, the focus was on creating a digital presence that felt authentic, approachable, and reflective of the impact Ohana has across its portfolio.

The site was built on WordPress with a fully custom, responsive design that prioritizes clarity, ease of use, and flexibility for future growth. Thoughtful page layouts, intuitive navigation, and key integrations were implemented to ensure the site supports multiple audiences while remaining simple and polished.

The final result is a website that feels confident, intentional, and aligned with Ohana Growth Partners' mission. We loved partnering with Coven on this project and contributing to a collaborative process that resulted in a site Ohana can be proud to share.

Recap: Jan 31st, 2026 CCBC Virtual Shark Tank Sessions

We’re still buzzing from CCBC's virtual Shark Tank pitch sessions, what an incredible day of presentations. The finalists truly brought their best, and the judges were impressed by the talent, professionalism, creativity, and promise across this year’s group.

A special Drio shoutout: Hazel and Rachel served as mentors to Danielle Bennett of With All the Love. We’re proud to support founders doing meaningful work and to be part of spaces where bold ideas get the spotlight.

Thanks for being part of our journey.
