Deep Dive: Patchwork Careers

Join the Alliance Center for a conversation with Erin Chmelik, an entrepreneur who has spent nearly a decade building her own path through her design business Hello Rising Tide. Erin will share how she thinks about work without a “company tether,” what opportunities exist outside the traditional career path, and how to start exploring possibilities you may not have considered. This isn’t necessarily about quitting your job and starting a business. It’s about widening your definition of what a career can look like—and giving yourself permission to build something that works for you. Come ready to question some of the assumptions we’ve inherited about work, explore what’s possible, and leave with fresh ideas for what your next chapter could look like. The Alliance Center’s Job Seekers Meet Up is a space for people navigating career transitions, searching for meaningful work, or exploring what’s next — together. Free but please register.
