ANNOUNCING OUR RE:INVENTION PANEL
We asked ourselves what’s something that we can do to help creatives figure out their next move? In the last few years, most creatives have been faced with the same questions the rest of the workforce is asking “What am I doing, am I fulfilled? Do I want to work for someone else or be my own boss?” These questions are scary and give adulting a whole new meaning.
We’re proud to announce our panelists who put the invention into the word reinvention. From beginning career pivots to strategic veteran career moves, they are telling their stories and answering your questions.

Reframe your perspective of the creative process and expand your artistic expressiveness.
As creatives, we consistently seek ways to develop our skills. “How can I solve this problem?” “How do I express myself in new and engaging ways?” Looking at old problems through a new lens can open our minds to a range of possibilities.
We’re excited to announce our creative workshops, allowing you to learn from industry leaders and hone your skills of observation, inventiveness, and refinement.
