We’re looking forward to introducing you to Britt Corrigan & Dani Gorcie . Check out our conversation below.
Hi Britt & Dani , thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
Over the last few years, Dani and I have stayed true to our mission of planting seeds, elevating our network, and building community. While our core values remain steady, we’re now being called to scale and take bold leaps toward major growth. When we launched Left Bank Creative in 2023, we had so many ambitious ideas but really dialed in and focused on the promo merch aspect.
By Spring 2026, we plan to do an all-out BLITZ, showcasing many of those original ideas we had when we opened. We`ve been dreaming, designing, and collaborating behind the scenes on what comes next — a major step forward for our brand and the creative community we love so much. We can’t spill all the secrets yet, but let’s just say it’s going to bring people together in a way that feels fresh, hands-on, and unapologetically us.
This blitz isn’t just about us—it’s about our community, our collaborators, and the creative energy that makes Cleveland shine. We’re shooting for the stars, and it feels like everything is finally aligning just as we envisioned from the start. In this business, timing and calculated risk are everything.
As industry disruptors and Cleveland`s creative rebels, we`re confident in these next bold moves and can`t wait to share with everyone.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
“Merch isn’t just stuff — it’s your brand’s storyteller.”
Hi, we’re Britt and Dani, co-founders of Left Bank Creative, a Cleveland-based brand merch service helping businesses bring their identity to life through custom merch, uniforms, event solutions, displays, and packaging.
We’re not just making merch — we’re elevating brands and amplifying their marketing and event presence. Every project blends creativity, logistics, and intentional branding, helping our clients stand out and connect with their audiences in meaningful ways.
What makes Left Bank Creative unique is our partnership and the values behind it. We thrive on risk-taking, authenticity, and community, and over the years, we’ve built an extended family of collaborators, clients, and suppliers across the Midwest who trust us to bring bold ideas to life.
Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for a big move: the BLITZ. It’s everything we envisioned when we started Left Bank Creative, now married with the needs of our fellow entrepreneurs and community — activating every system at once to take creative merchandise and brand experiences to the next level. We can’t wait to share it and look forward to connecting more on this in Spring 2026.
At its core, Left Bank Creative is about collaboration, curation, and caring deeply about the entrepreneurs and brands behind every project — because great merch isn’t just a product, it’s a story worth sharing.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Dani and I share a worldview shaped by travel, lived experience, and constant reinvention. We’re drawn to uprooting old ideas and starting fresh, burning the old to make space for something new — you could say we’re a bit like the Phoenix in that way.
We’ve learned that the world’s beauty lies in its complexity, and that embracing diversity, sharing knowledge, and building community through creativity is essential. That mindset fuels every project we take on, guiding our approach to partnerships with compassion, care, connection, and bold creative energy.
Professionally, we’ve taken the risk of letting our personal values shine, staying bold in a fast-moving world. We believe in going all in — together, we can create something meaningful. This white-glove, human-centered approach sets us apart from big-box brands and allows us to truly understand the heartbeat of our community and network.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I love this question because it touches on something I take pride in today, though I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to truly believe in myself. I’d tell my younger self that every road of self-discovery and exploration leads to where you’re meant to be. It doesn’t matter how you get there — you’ll find success by being yourself and staying true to your dreams, whatever they may be.
Looking back, my journey might have seemed abstract to some, but every experience was necessary to shape me into the entrepreneurial woman I am today. I wouldn’t trade it for the world — I just wish I could have told my younger self that even in moments of doubt, it would all work out exactly as it was meant to.
I believe in the power of manifestation and perseverance, and everything makes sense now that I`ve put it all together in this passion project.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
This question made us both chuckle.
We joke that our “public selves” are fearless and badass, but in the studio, we’re really introverted nerds who love diving deep into projects. Finding the balance between the two has been key — it makes it easier to share our work and ideas with the community.
It’s funny because locally, I come from the club promotions and DJ world, and Dani is a kickass drummer in a band — yet professionally, it was a bit of a shock to be the faces of Left Bank Creative and make those business connections.
It has taken self-reflection and effort to step out of the shadows, but opening our own business has allowed us to fully embrace both sides of ourselves. It’s strengthened everything we do, letting us share new ideas while staying true to our artist hearts, which can sometimes be a vulnerable space.
At the end of the day, we’re not polished public figures or a huge faceless entity — we’re Britt & Dani, co-founders and brand specialists at Left Bank Creative, and we’re pretty cool.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
A huge step toward peace for us was opening our own merch business — funny, right?
Entrepreneurship comes with sacrifices, but for us, the reward has been freedom: setting our own schedules, exploring, discovering, and coming back with bold ideas that keep our work fresh and inspired.
We find our peace near the Lake Erie coast and Metroparks! We love exploring the outdoors, decompressing in the woods or on the water, and soaking up our community. It’s in these moments that our minds open and creating and brainstorming new ideas becomes second nature — the same energy we pour into bringing tangible experiences to our partnerships, which is where we really thrive.
Cleveland has so much to offer, and the live/work/play balance we’ve built fuels our creativity and keeps our approach fun, fresh, and human. Sure, it’s not “work,” but who would we — or our brand — be without it?
