Creative Founders UK

A curated space for creative founders in Essex to sharpen their thinking, grow stronger businesses and build meaningful connections. This isn’t traditional networking. Instead, we create a space for thoughtful conversations, fresh perspectives and deeper connections between people who make a living from their creativity. Whether you're an architect, photographer, designer, illustrator, strategist, marketer, copywriter or creative business owner, you'll be in good company. Arrive at 09.30 for a 10.00 start. Hosted by our partners at Patch. We usually start with a creative connection exercise, followed by a short talk designed to spark ideas and discussion. We'll then spend some time workshopping the topic together before finishing with our Perspective Circle, where we hear from our peers (all of you) and explore different viewpoints, experiences and insights. Teas and coffees will be available. Come curious, leave with new ideas, new connections and a stronger sense of where you're heading. £10/person goes to Patch for the use of their space, support and facilities. Free for Patch members. -------------------------------------------------------------- Creative Founders is a collaborative effort brought to you by: Joshua Ayettey (JADC Architect Studio) Katie Deverell at Patch Helen Girling (Sketchface) Ivy Malik (The Creative’s Business Coach) Harry Milton (Relay Creative)
