I will be a collaborating partner for The Value of Creativity.
I will be helping shape the panel conversation and hosting the Creative’s Kickback while bringing my perspective as a creative, community builder and connector.
Come for the workshop and panel. Stay for the Creative Kickback.
The Value of Creativity is a networking mixer and workshop exploring what it takes to build, price, position, market, and sustain a business rooted in creative work.
Designed for creative entrepreneurs, this experience brings creatives, entrepreneurs, and business leaders together to connect, build relationships, and have an honest conversation about the business behind creativity—without diminishing the originality, purpose, or value of the work itself.
We'll explore some of the realities creative entrepreneurs face, including pricing, visibility, positioning, ownership, audience development, collaboration, and sustainable revenue.

Meet creative entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals from across the Triangle. Build relationships that can lead to collaboration, referrals, customers, resources, and new opportunities.

Honest conversations about creativity and entrepreneurship
Perspectives from working creative professionals
Practical discussion about building sustainable creative businesses

Opportunities to connect with entrepreneurs and creatives across disciplines
This experience is for artists, designers, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, writers, makers, content creators, creative strategists, creative entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone interested in the role creativity plays in business and economic growth.
Creativity is more than expression. It is intellectual property, enterprise, culture, and economic opportunity.
Capacity is limited. Advance registration is encouraged.
