Creative Lunch Club - Sharing Food
Testimonial Júlia Mota Albuquerque

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.

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.

Thanks to Creative Lunch Club I found friends and inspiring conversations and connections with people that I probably would not have met otherwise. The process is easy and straight forward and everyone is so friendly, interesting and talented - what an amazing experience.

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.

My first lunch was with Lea & Caroline, NYC designers like me and it was great to meet them outside of work in a casual setting. Creative Lunch Club does the hard part of linking me up with others when otherwise, I’d be so focused on work that I wouldn’t have the energy to find like-minded people. And you make new friends.

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.

As a freelance creative, I am always on the lookout for others to find my community. And nothing compares to a relaxed lunch to connect with new faces and get away from your, sometimes lonely, desk.

Creative Lunch Club is an amazing initiative for us creatives to meet others who are like-minded. As creatives we have our friends, colleagues  and acquaintances, but having the opportunity to connect and get to know other operators who are inspiring and each have a story to tell is what our industry needs more of – to feel a part of a community.

Creative Lunch Club is always a treat. If you are new to a city, looking for collaborators or just nice humans, I would recommend.

I recently moved to Barcelona and was looking for ways to meet new people in the city. The Creative Lunch is such a convenient and fun way to meet new people! I learnt a lot from the other two, who have been here much longer than I have. I can't wait for the next one.

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.

So I’ve just moved back to my home town after living overseas for 3 years and I’ve always had trouble meeting creative people that are my vibe. I figured Brisbane just didn’t have many creatives. I signed up for creative lunch club and boy did they pull through!

I met two people my age and in the exact same position as me, just moved here and looking for creative friends. We all clicked immediately and started making all the plans before going for a drive together and extending out hang out.

So excited for the next meetup! Couldn’t recommend this more, it’s such a great concept.

Thanks to Creative Lunch Club and their beautiful concept I regularly get to meet new creative people in Vienna every month.

I've wanted to do the follow-for-follow creatives thing but preferred more genuine IRL chats with folks who create art, design, ideas, etc.

I stumbled upon Creative Lunch Club and had my first lunch and loved it. If you are a creative looking to be less lonely in this sprawling city and have interesting conversations in Los Angeles, I recommend it.

I joined CLC a couple of months ago and have met some pretty awesome creative peeps. Every month you get paired a couple creatives from your city to plan a lunch with to talk shop. It’s a great way to expand your network - extremely great value IMO.

I met a video editor and a graphic designer via Creative Lunch Club and it was wholesome. We talked about procrastination, working from home, finding clients, cats, medication and anxiety. 
Highly recommend if you’re in your creative silo a lot and don’t like mass networking events.

You know that feeling when you find your people? That’s exactly what I feel every month when I meet up with my new matches on the creative lunch club. People I’ve met have all been genuine and interested in real human connection. I genuinely look forward to my new matches every month.

Was looking for something exactly like Creative Lunch Club. A modern third place, also a digital community and a way to network. Tried few alternatives and this one is perfect. Brought a lot of new things to my daily life. Wish to use it when I travel as well.

I was longing for a new context and hoping to create some kind of community. Signed up to Creative Lunch Club and every month they match me with two other creatives in my region. 

I’ve already met my matches for a second time and we’ve already exchanged much laughs, feelings and ideas. And a gig or two.

I love to get inspired by fellow creatives and the Creative Lunch Club makes this easy for me. The conversations during these lunches have always an energizing impact on me.

I really enjoy meeting new people through Creative Lunch Club. I think it's a great way of making new contacts, especially as a foreigner in a new city.

Karen Rogers
UX/UI Designer - Lisbon

The Creative Lunch Club is great because I can easily get to know previously unknown creative people in the city, gain new inspiration, expand my talent network and also discover new corners and restaurants in the city.

I think the members are curious and open-minded people by nature. It's always exciting to learn more about the city's creative scene and its projects. At my previous meetings, we always had interesting discussions and the time for lunch was often far too short. I'm already looking forward to my next Creative Lunch Club.
