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.

I’m so glad I got to know about this brilliant networking space. Meeting so many talented and creative people has been incredibly inspiring — it’s exactly the kind of energy that fuels new ideas. It’s also a great opportunity to build a strong freelance network and connect with like-minded professionals.

I love Creative Lunch Club because it harnesses the most human way of connecting, sharing a meal. It's an effortless way for creatives to build diverse connections and friendships across various fields and meet people they wouldn't otherwise.
