In honor of the new year we are excited to launch #CMTakeaways, a new segment that encourages Creative Mornings attendees to share their favorite moments, reflections, or connections made from our monthly breakfast series.
At the first gathering of 2015, local Fashion Designer Maria Pinto rocked the house by exploring the messy part of her creative process and her strong connection to the art world. The audience deeply connected with Maria’s candid demeanor and ambitious mentality, especially when she explained that “you can’t be shy and you can’t be afraid” when producing creative work. Below are a few snapshots captured by some of our lovely guests who aren’t afraid of “embracing the ‘ugly’ beginnings of making any vision real.”
Stefani Bachetti illustrates a roadmap of some of her #CMTakeaways in this beautiful sketch note.
Elijah McKinnon (hey, that’s me!) visualizes some of his favorite #CMTakeaways from Maria’s interview with this amazing sketch note.
