On August 6th, we’re flipping the script and hosting CreativeMornings after dark.

Join us at COLOR Creative’s studio in Bellevue for Creative Evening, a buzzing night of inspiration, music, and community. This isn’t your average talk series—it’s a celebration of mentorship, punk energy, and creative resilience in all its forms.

We’re thrilled to welcome three incredible voices from Seattle’s creative scene:

Nate Manny
From international tours with The Murder City Devils to global brand campaigns for Pepsi, KEEN, and Microsoft, Nate’s 20-year journey bridges music, design, and storytelling. He got his start building the brand for his band while earning his Fine Arts degree at Evergreen, and never looked back—navigating both agency and in-house roles with his signature creative grit.

Lance Mercer
A photographer who got into shows with a camera and a punk ethos, Lance’s work is as raw and real as the Seattle scene he came up in. “I didn’t have to be Ansel Adams to take photographs,” he says. “The same kind of ethos the Ramones had musically, I could apply photographically.” His lens captured a generation—and a movement.

Laura Stockwell
Laura brings a strategic mind and generous heart to everything she does. A leader in tech, design, and innovation, she’s helped Fortune 100 companies, agencies, and nonprofits unlock insights and drive real change. Her work is a masterclass in clarity, transformation, and building teams that make magic.

And because it’s COLOR, the night doesn’t stop with the talks. Expect:

• Live music by Bassafras
• Arcade games
• Karaoke
• Theremin lessons (yes, really)
• Hands-on creative activities and community surprises
