About this Event

Always a Student: Cultivating Curiosity Throughout Creative Careers
Curiosity doesn’t end when school does. Join us at Portland-based creative studio p3 for an honest conversation about learning, growth, and staying inspired throughout a creative career. Featuring designers at three different stages of their professional journeys—from emerging to senior-level—this discussion will explore how curiosity continues to shape their work, challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and open unexpected opportunities.

Whether you're just beginning your career, navigating a mid-career pivot, or reflecting on decades of experience, you’ll hear personal stories and practical insights about staying engaged in an ever-changing creative landscape.

Following the conversation, stick around to meet fellow attendees, explore the studio, and continue the discussion over complimentary beer and wine.
