Erika Krivenko owns HIVE Boutique, an online specialty store known for stylish shoes and accessories for women.  She started HIVE at 117 South Boyd Street in downtown Winter Garden, from her passion to inspire others to look and feel their best, affordably.  She prides herself in providing selections “buzzing with style and Southern charm.”  The inspiration for HIVE is the Honey Bee, a universal symbol of prosperity because of its essential role in helping the planet thrive.  Bees are a reminder that consistent effort, collaboration, and care lead to flourishing success.  The name, HIVE, is derived from the purpose the Bee Hive serves the planet's greatest pollinators, a home swarming with activity.

Erika is recognized for her active involvement in the community, including her contributions to the West Orange Junior Service League as the Ways and Means Committee Chair, working with local merchants to strengthen their prominence in downtown Winter Garden, and leading marketing strategies for two local Chick-fil-A franchises in West Orange County.  She is a Florida native, a graduate of Florida State University, and raised her two children in Winter Garden. Watching football, golf, and NASCAR with her 21-year-old son, Mark, and shopping and traveling with her 19-year-old daughter, Kelly, are some of her favorite activities.  One of their favorite places to visit is Dahlonega, Georgia where they stay in a Tree House Air BNB.  Erika’s professional and personal engagement in the West Orange community is highlighted by her dedication to supporting local businesses and non-profit organizations.
