I’m Vanessa, a writer, narrative consultant and professional gatherer of good people. I love thoughtful conversation, genuine connection and spaces that feel warm, unpretentious and a little bit special. I chose Conejo Negro because it’s a Black-owned restaurant I genuinely enjoy supporting! It's so GOOD!
Please note: You'll pay for your food and drinks at the restaurant.

Learn more about Creative Lunch Club
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.

As someone who can be pretty introverted, Creative Lunch Club has been a really nice push to meet people outside my usual circles. I’ve loved hearing how other creatives found their way into what they do—the pivots, side projects, unexpected career paths and everything in between. The conversations always go beyond “what do you do?” and I leave feeling energized, with a new perspective, a recommendation or two, and someone I’m genuinely glad I met.

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.
