I've met so many wonderful people this year trough Creative Lunch Club. It's been a great way to meet people in different industries and has been way more personal and fun than networking events.

So lovely and energizing to connect with other designers, bonding over shared experiences, loves/qualms about our work, how to avoid creative burnout, what we're looking forward to, and so on. Looking forward to continuing to make these thoughtful connections and have meaningful conversations.

I joined CLC a couple of months ago and have met some pretty awesome creative peeps. Every month you get paired a couple creatives from your city to plan a lunch with to talk shop. It's a great way to expand your network - extremely great value IMO.
