Creative Lunch Club was such a refreshing break and it happened just around the corner, which made it even better. As a studio founder, it felt so good to step out of the day-to-day and connect with like-minded people in a relaxed, inspiring setting.

Freddie Öst
Founder & Brand Director, Stockholm

Creative Lunch Club has been an inspiring way to connect with fellow designers, virtually and in-person. I love sharing exciting events with others—like AIGA DC’s Design Week—and hearing firsthand what people want more of in our creative community. It’s a great space for conversation, collaboration, and discovering new perspectives.

Natalia Celine Arias
Multidisciplinary Creative, Washington DC

As a newly graduated creative right at the beginning stages of her career, Creative Lunch Club has been an invaluable resource for me. Not only have I met incredible people, but the moments enjoyed together through the network have allowed me to gain useful insights, life-long friendships, and the push I have needed to persist through the hurdles of embarking on a freelance journey in an entirely new city.
