About the speaker
CreativeMornings Ottawa is celebrating its 5th year! Join us for an especially festive talk & birthday celebrations back where it all began (Impact Hub Ottawa)!
When you hear stories about serendipity, they have an undertone of delight, pleasure, and sometimes profound transformation. These unforeseen, joyful accidents are often the opportunities we seek and cherish—and above all, they're moments that we don't forget.
This month we're happy to welcome CreativeMornings Ottawa friend and long-time attendee Jamie Muntean to the stage as this month's speaker on 'serendipity'.

He has spent years on all sides of the business, from freelancing, to being a small business owner, to working staff position in agencies and production houses. Some notable client work has been, Disney, Universal Music, National Geographic and Cirque du Soleil.
