Meet Erica! Our host for our 2/26 Office Hours --
"Erica Carraway is a Seattle-based founder, strategist, and community builder with over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience, working at the intersection of wellness, culture, and experience. She is the creator of ALT, an adaptogenic coffee alternative rooted in ritual and sustainability, and the founder of SHIFT Marketing, where she supports brands through strategic growth and experiential storytelling. Erica’s work centers presence over productivity—creating spaces where people can slow down, connect, and feel held.
During my Office Hours, I’ll be working quietly—reading, light writing, and creative planning—holding an open, calm presence. Anyone is welcome to sit nearby to work, rest, read, or simply enjoy being in shared company. No agenda, just space.
Since Friend Museum also serves ALT, I’ll gently invite guests to share a cup of our partnered offering ooo honey chiildor try a new ALT latte that I’ll be softly introducing during Office Hours.
I’ve also attached the completed flyer for context.
Thank you again for including me — I really love the spirit of this series.
Warmly,
Erica"
More about this regular Thursday event at Friend Museum:
Parallel play. Co-working. Office hours. We're entering fall side-by-side this year, ready to pull up a seat beside you.
Every Thursday this fall / winter we'll hold an open, drop-in, low pressure space to gather in our space. From 10-2 there will be someone at the table next to our in house coffee shop -- working, creating, reading or just being in community. The invite is always open, we'll always pull up a chair for you.
Bring your work, art in progress, book or just yourself and find a moment or two of camaraderie as daylight fades. Stay as long as you'd like, we're open 9-5 everyday. $1 off at the cafe for anyone who joins.
In the coming weeks we'll introduce the anchors who will sit at the table with you and let you know a bit about what they're working on while they spend Thursday with us.
Want to be the lighthouse at the head of our table sometime this year? Send us an email ([email protected]) we'd love to have you
