Outer Galactic Chocolates

starting a business of any kind is tough, but it's especially tough when said business is sorta-kinda-technically illegal. in 2019, i partnered with my papa (a lifelong pot grower) to build a small edibles brand as a way to, uh, push him into the light. what began as a passion project became an actual business, with our edibles available in dispensaries before we successfully sold the license in 2020.

as for me, I had a lot of fun conceptualizing the brand identity, managing creative vendors, and convincing shops to give us a shot. the cannabis compliance and sop stuff was way less fun.
