Drio’s November Recap: New Horizons, New Faces & Lots of Inspiration ✨🤝💡
|
Hi Reader, November was a month of bold moves and big milestones for Drio. From taking WholeSite across borders to stepping into the spotlight here at home, we kept the creativity flowing and the momentum strong. Here’s a look at what unfolded: 🌎 WholeSite Takes a Big Step Forward - From El Salvador to a New CTOLast month, we hit pause on our usual routine and headed to El Salvador for a change of scenery and a full creative reset. The goal was simple: step out of the day-to-day, immerse ourselves in WholeSite, and give the project the focused attention it deserves. No distractions. Just deep work, inspiration, and a little adventure along the way. And that dedicated time paid off in a huge way. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve officially brought on Tomás as WholeSite’s Chief Technology Officer! Tomás will be leading the technical development of the platform and guiding us as we bring our prototype to life. Having him on board, and having the space to work together in person during our trip, felt like the spark WholeSite needed to step into its next phase. Big momentum, big clarity, and big things ahead. 🎤 Speaking Spotlight: Rachel at Spark BaltimoreTo round out the month, Rachel took the stage at Spark Baltimore for the AIGA event Women Working in Design on Friday, November 21.

Here’s a little peek at what we were working on throughout the month. 🌱 How United Way of Central Maryland’s Website Keeps Evolving We’re highlighting one of our favorite...
Hi Reader, Rachel and I recently went to a presentation for international exchange alumni (because of our Professional Fellows experience). During the event, one of the presenters shared how he’s now working with a peacebuilding organization called Mediators Beyond Borders. You know I’m all about a good analogy, and I absolutely loved the one he referenced. He described peacebuilding as similar to the Japanese art form kintsugi, which is done by repairing broken pottery using a gold substance...
Hi Reader, I don’t usually work late, but when I do, it’s because I’m fully immersed in something, head down, earbuds in. Recently, I was up late working on WholeSite, the AI-assisted website building tool we’re developing. When I finally came home, I asked my husband if he wanted to see what I had been doing. I hadn’t actually told him much about WholeSite yet, so I gave him the spiel. I told him WholeSite will allow entrepreneurs to create a high-quality WordPress website on their own. It...
