After being let go from her first studio design job, Jena Nesbitt took a chance and attended an event that changed her life. She realized what she was missing in her life by getting out of her field and doing something new. Feeling the lack of community and support offered by design school, she decided she was meant to be a connector of people. Jena became determined to be a driving force of serendipitous connections among creatives in Portland. This realization ultimately led to starting The Creative Roundtable, a meetup of Portland creatives that is now over 6.5K strong. During her talk, Jena will share her story and insights on the importance of community and connection in the creative industry. You’ll gain valuable knowledge on how to turn setbacks into opportunities and create a supportive network of like-minded individuals that can help you grow personally and professionally. Register now and join us for an evening of networking, inspiration, and community building. Fresh Consulting has graciously agreed to host this talk in their auditorium space at 811 SE Stark St #300, Portland, OR 97214 For those unable to attend in person, a Zoom session will be available.
