It’s no secret that we have a lot of members in the creative design services industry as part of Vegan Business Tribe – in fact VBT co-founder David ran a design and marketing agency for more than 15 years!  But because we are all on the same mission to bring about a vegan world, we rarely consider each other as competition.  Instead, we’re all people with the same ethics who want to help support each other on our parallel journeys.

Over the past year, we’ve had a number of suggestions that we bring people together in the same industry to have conversations about shared experiences and problems.  We all know that in the vegan sector we are stronger when we work together, so we will be holding our first Vegan Designers Meet-up on Thursday 13th January at 4.30pm UK time (GMT) to test out the concept.

So whether you are a graphic designer, a brand consultant, a web designer or motion designer – everyone will get to introduce themselves to the other creatives in the group and to talk about the kind of work they specialise in.  Then we will hold a discussion about how we can all support each other, work together, and whether there is a need for a more formal sector-specific support network within Vegan Business Tribe.

Maybe you like the idea of being able to give back to other vegans who are just starting out in the design industry.  Maybe you are looking for others to collaborate with.  Or maybe you want to bring creatives together for a larger discussion about how we can actually use our creative skills to change the world.  We want you to bring your comments and ideas!

If you can’t join us for the meet-up, then you can also email your own thoughts to us on hello@veganbusinesstribe.com
