One of the best things I’ve done since moving to Stockholm has been joining the Creative Lunch Club, a community I first discovered back in Australia and was so happy to find here too!These catchups have been such a great way to connect with other creatives, share stories and experiences, and feel part of the design community here. I've met some incredibly talented and kind people through these catch-ups, and it's helped me explore more of Stockholm too!
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.
Creative Lunch Club is a great way to get off your ass, meet random creatives, and share a meal. Perfect for getting inspiration, energy, and a different angle on things.
