CreativeMornings - 🌈 CreativeMornings, in Tina’s words

October 20, 2022

“Inherently, to live means being creative. Your life is your biggest design project.” — Tina Roth Eisenberg

We are so lucky to be featured in HelpScout’s In the Works series, a publication focused on organizations and their founders! In this feature, our founder Tina Roth Eisenberg tells the story of how a yearning for friendship among New York City’s fast-paced design industries led her to start CreativeMornings. A small monthly breakfast blossomed to a global creative community of 224 chapters, more far-reaching than she could have ever imagined. Even after 14 years (did you know it was our birthday last week?!), it’s thrilling to hear Tina tell our story again, in her own words.

Learn how we built CreativeMornings one high-five and croissant at a time, and take a peek at beautiful photos from chapters around the world.

I made this newsletter by shedding what I no longer need for the season, much like how trees lose their leaves to prepare for winter. The leaf pile crunches underfoot, redolent in sound and scent. (Psst, if you like fall leaves, this is a good week to check out the THIS link in the footer👇.)
