Most of you know me as a photographer + digital marketing strategist, but did you know event coordinating was my first love? 👀✨

I’ve teamed up with @menace.media to bring The Creative Union to life-a series uniting creatives from all walks to connect, learn, and grow through art, culture + community.

Follow @thecreativeuniondet to catch our next event! 🚀

Working for yourself doesn’t mean you have to build alone!

Some of the best ideas, collaborations, and opportunities start with a simple conversation.

At The Creative Union, we believe coworking is about more than sharing a workspace. It’s about surrounding yourself with people who understand your journey, challenge your ideas, and help you grow.

Because community is creative infrastructure. 🤎

Building creative infrastructure takes a lot more than building a space.

Behind The Creative Union are countless hours spent creating content, curating programming, building partnerships, applying for grants, networking and advocating for Detroit’s creative community.

The buildout will give the work a home. But the work to strengthen Detroit’s creative economy is already happening.

The Creative Union is more than an organization. It’s a movement for the creative economy, built by creatives who understand firsthand why stronger creative infrastructure matters.

A lot of the challenges we’re working to solve today are the same ones we faced ten years ago. We learned through trial and error. We figured things out without a roadmap. We built careers, found our people, created our own opportunities and learned where the gaps were because we lived them.

Now, we get to come back together and help close those gaps for the creatives coming behind us.

That’s what makes this feel so full circle.

Where we started versus where we are now is a testament to every creative who has poured their time, ideas, relationships and energy into building this foundation. People who believe community isn’t just something you find. It’s something you intentionally build and protect.

Because when creatives have access to each other, resources, opportunities and spaces where they belong, the entire creative economy gets stronger.

There’s something powerful about using what you’ve learned to make the path a little clearer for someone else.

To build the community you once needed.

To contribute to something bigger than yourself.

That’s The Creative Union.

It was such a pleasure finally shooting with longtime follower @nyshellwatson. She told me I’ve been on her list of photographers to shoot with for a while, and I’m so, so honored she made the trip from the Lansing area to make it happen.

And she came READY. The colors, the poses, the energy, the face. She knew exactly what she was giving, and I just got to capture it.

Thank you for trusting me with your vision, Nyshell. I loved creating with you! taken in Detroit, Michigan by @nguyenncreative
