How to Stay Connected

You do not need to join everything at once. Pick one or two communities that suit your interests, Go to a design conference or follow from afar if you cannot attend in person, and build a small system for inspiration that works for you.

Connect with other creatives you admire, ask questions, and share your work. A few simple actions can help you feel part of a much larger creative world.

Conclusion

Creatives do better when they are part of something larger. Communities, events, and useful tools can spark ideas, friendships, and collaboration. Find the spaces and resources that suit you and shape a creative setup that helps you grow.

Thanks for running such a great community! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried this for the first time, and I can't wait for the next month to roll around. Excited to see this network grow!

When I found about the Creative Lunch Club I immediately thought I had to join. I live for design communities but so rarely we get opportunities to have these small group gatherings, so lunch feels like the ideal excuse to meet other creatives. Had the first one the other day and yep, it was a great experience and can’t wait for the next.

The initiative by the Creative Lunch Club has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I now have a bigger network and new friends.
