“The ones that love us never really leave us. We can always find them.”- Sirius Black. ❤️
Today marks one year since we lost the heart of our entire foundation. Almost 8 years ago, Kelli Despain and her best friend Megan Jones set out to build a co-working community by professional women, for professional women. Her goal was to always lift up those around her, help those she loved reach their goals, and ensure that everyone around her felt cared for, safe, and cherished. Anyone who spent even a minute with her felt her magnetic aura and positivity. It was truly something only she had.
We hope you all are staying safe this holiday season 🎄 and remember, The Bottega family will always be a place to call home during hard times.
Scroll to see some fun pictures of her throughout the years at bottega, from the days of construction, to the grand opening, to her photoshoots in the space. We hope you find joy in knowing that everything that she did was for those she loved, and she is no doubt proud of each and every one of you.
