We had the good fortune of connecting with Britt Corrigan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Britt, how do you think about risk?
Risk is at the heart of everything we do at Left Bank Creative. Dani and I both come from a place of independence where we’ve learned to bet on ourselves, knowing we have the support and grit to make bold moves. Starting Left Bank Creative was our biggest risk, but also our most rewarding. We weren’t afraid to detach from old values and plans to create something new that truly represents us and the white-glove services we offer.

In this industry, taking risks isn’t just a one-time thing—it’s a daily practice. We embrace the uncertainty that comes with the creative process because that’s where innovation happens. Every client is unique, and our job is to understand their brand deeply and then take calculated risks to bring their vision to life in a way that feels fresh and authentic.

Risk has allowed us to grow, refine our skills, and create a business that not only meets the needs of our clients but also reflects who we are as creatives. It’s about being brave enough to push boundaries and smart enough to know when to pivot. That’s how we continue to deliver products and experiences that are as bold and original as the brands we work with.

Risk, for us, isn’t about stepping into the unknown—it’s about stepping forward with confidence in our vision and our clients’ trust.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
At Left Bank Creative, we like to think of what we do as brand art. It’s a perfect mix of creativity and logistics, where every project is a collaboration, not just a transaction. We’re way more than just a company slapping logos on things—we’re about leveraging and creating custom products that tell your brand’s story, reflect its values, and stand out in the best way possible. We’ve evolved to offer everything from sustainable options to give-back programs, to locally manufactured goods. It’s about finding the right fit for each brand, not just one-size-fits-all.

Getting here wasn’t easy. We’ve had to navigate a lot of challenges, but we took in everything we could from our past experiences and decided to trust our instincts. It wasn’t always a smooth ride, but we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat because it’s led us to where we are now.

What we want the world to know is that we genuinely care about elevating our client`s brands. We’re not just ticking boxes—we’re diving deep into the industry to find the best solutions because that’s our standard. We’re also really proud to be part of a legacy of women in business, and we’re excited to keep building on that foundation.

At the end of the day, your brand is our passion, and that’s what drives everything we do.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
This is such a fun question! We’re both really passionate about Cleveland. Dani and I have played tour guides for out-of-state friends and family more times than we can count, and each visit just makes us love this city more. Cleveland’s got a vibe that’s so unapologetically itself—you’ve got to dive into it.

Here’s how we’d show someone the best time ever:

Kickoff: You can’t talk Cleveland without mentioning the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—so that’s always on the list. It’s like the heartbeat of the city.

Explore: A must-see is the West Side Market, followed by a chill afternoon at the Metroparks or one of our favorite beaches.

Music Vibes: Catching a live show at The Beachland Ballroom and Tavern in the Waterloo Arts District is non-negotiable. That place is iconic, and the energy there is unmatched.

Local Finds: We’d hit up City Goods in Midtown for some cool Cleveland-themed threads by Ilthy—it’s like wearing the city on your sleeve. Cleveland Clothing Company is another iconic, Cleveland-themed apparel shop that we love.

Game Day: No Cleveland experience is complete without attending a Guardians game but first, grab an Elote hot dog or two from Glizzy’s, our go-to stand.

Coffee, Museums & Sushi: Start the day with a Mazapan Latte from Dahlia Coffee (shoutout to one of our favorite women-owned businesses), followed by museum sightseeing. Then, wrap up the day with a quality sushi dinner and socializing at Sora on the East Bank Flats.

Extra Fun: We’re all about catching local festivals—there’s always something happening! Oh, and a sunset cruise on the Lady Caroline? Pure magic.

Eats & Beats: Cleveland’s food scene is killer, so we’d eat our way through the week from Little Italy to the Asian Plaza and soak in as much local music as possible. Our city is packed with live music and dance opportunities.

We love how Cleveland just keeps you on your toes—there’s always something unexpected around the corner, and that’s what makes it such an incredible place to live and visit.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First off, huge shoutout to our incredible LBC family—our loyal partners, family members, and mentors who push us to make this dream a reality. We also want to recognize the unsung heroes behind the scenes, the extended family of Left Bank Creative. From the entire Skummunity, to our collaborators, competitors, suppliers, and printers, everyone plays a vital role in bringing our vision to life.

We are so lucky to be part of such a dynamic and creative village that allows us to elevate our clients’ brands to new heights. It’s never just about us; it’s about the entire team working together to make something greater than ourselves.
