In 2023, I launched a local MeetUp group here in Chattanooga called Nooga Creatives Club. This group was my way of trying to not only put myself out there to make local connections and friends, but to bring creative minds together to build community. I started out hosting casual meetups at breweries and art galleries to support local businesses, and eventually added more group hosts to continue building the group.

​

As of early 2024, we've got over 150 members of Nooga Creative Clubs! Feedback from our group is awesome and so many creatives have made genuine, long-lasting friends.

I'm also working on building a new group called Creative Agency that will be more business-focused for full-time creatives like graphic designers, photographers, web designers, and more. Click here to learn more about that group and join!
