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.

Creative Lunch Club changed the game for me. The similar mindset and openness that most people meet through this community allows for deeper connections and a sense of belonging, no matter where we are. I've connected with people in 2 different countries now and I still talk and/or meet most of them and miss the ones I can't see soon. I have another scheduled lunch already.

The Creative Lunch Club is a fantastic initiative and a powerful network for me as a creative. Beyond sharing meals and meeting people, I made good friends and found clients over time. It was surprising to learn that CLC is present in many European cities, allowing me to stay connected even after moving.
