Oakland - Berkeley

California

Active

Life here in the Oakland-Berkeley corridor moves with a curious mix of energy and calm. People walk from café to shop in neighborhoods like Temescal, Rockridge, and Elmwood. Specialty stores make errands feel more like a discovery rather than a rush. On warm evenings, you’ll see friends gathering over ice cream or small plates in an old warehouse turned neighborhood spot. At the same time, striking murals and local makers remind you that this area remains rooted in creativity and possibility. As a result, local businesses matter a lot. They shape how people move, meet, and stay.

Meagan Holcomb

Local Account Manager

Hi! I’m Meagan, a Local Account Manager at LoLo and a lifelong believer in the power of connection to transform communities. My background spans education, storytelling, and small business leadership—all rooted in one simple idea: when people feel seen and supported, they create things that last. As a small business owner myself, I know the courage it takes to keep showing up for your craft, your team, and your community. That’s why I love this work—it’s a chance to champion the dreamers and doers who make our towns feel alive. When I’m not connecting with local partners, you’ll find me wandering by foot, exploring new corners of town, and soaking in all the ways local life unfolds—one conversation, one discovery, one neighborhood at a time.
