from the founder

As we enter our second year of promoting creativity, I would like to first say thank you to all who have jumped on board and have helped build the success of this publication. It has been an amazing journey so far. I have met a lot of amazing people and along the way, many of them had said to me, “This is quite a large undertaking you are taking on, but if anyone was to do it, you are the one to do so and we are here to help you.” That was quite the compliment to receive and to know that I had the support from soo many was an incredible feeling.

Rhode Island Creative Magazine (RICM) just had its relaunch event on September 25th for a night of networking and appreciation at The Lorraine Mills in the Melo International Studio Gallery that consists of 70 local artists work. It was a great location to host the event and to help provide exposure to our local artists which is part of RICM’s mission. The event was just another stepping stone towards to bringing all the professionals around the state together, creating a movement, building awareness of the talent and education we have here in RI. With a lot of hard work, teamwork, and leadership, we as an industry can achieve this. I am here to lead this movement and help make a difference. Many of you have already joined me for this journey and I hope more of you will and help grow our team.

How can we grow? Business to business marketing is the key. I am here to help educate you, promote you, and connect you to new markets. That has been my daily mission as a designer for years! Now I am doing that on a much larger scale. The RICM relaunch event was a great example of what I have already started to create. We have been brought together by sharing the mission, supporting each others profession and passion at 100% contribution. We all didn’t know each other but we all strive for the same goal, success! RICM has brought and will continue to bring a wide range of professionals together to make a difference and to achieve the mission. 

Sincerely,
