Meet Our New Host

Hello! (Or should I say good morning?) I’m Jennifer Mead, the new host of CreativeMornings/Tucson. If you’ve been to any of our events, you may know I’m not new to CreativeMornings, but stepping up from co-host to host is a change, and one I’m excited to take on!

Along with our team of amazing volunteers, Emily Pratt (our new Co-Host) and I are ready to continue our mission of bringing together and celebrating Tucson’s creative community!

A bit about me

What’s my story? In a sentence I’d say: I’m a chance designer and purposeful connector who is passionate about bringing people and ideas together.

Call it chance or fate, a creative career is something I happened into. I didn’t know I was *creative* or that creative could mean anything other than those folks who seemed born artists.

Thankfully, I met someone along the way that called out the creativity they saw in me. That set me on a path I don’t think I’d have otherwise found. I’ve been making a career of design for over ten years now, and I’m always eager to share my discovery of creativity with others in case I could be the catalyst that helps them find it in themselves.

A bit about the team

Every CreativeMornings event is FREE and run by a team of volunteers.

I’m so grateful to the many volunteers who continue to give their time and expertise to bring these events and this community to life. Shout out to our current roster: Cheryl Toth, Julie Bonner, Mohammed Al-Sammak, Fabian Tejada, David Pike, and Desi Aragon. 

My vision for CreativeMornings/Tucson

My ultimate vision is to create positive change in our community through the ideas we share and the people we bring together.
