By attending an AIGA event, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.

Interested in networking with other creatives in the AIGA Minnesota Solopreneurs community?

Join us for our monthly lunch meeting at The Wedge Table Classroom. We discuss upcoming Solopreneur events, brainstorm and collaborate on business and creative issues. Come enjoy the company of other independent creative professionals in a casual setting with some tasty food available for purchase.

If you’re already a Solopreneur or just thinking about making the transition, we’d love to include you in our conversation. No registration or advanced RSVP is required. Plan to buy your own lunch and/or beverage.

Schedule

12:00-1:00 Solopreneurs Meeting
Come meet and network with other independent creatives over coffee or a delicious lunch purchased from our friends at The Wedge Table. Our topic for October is open – we’ll follow up on the recent EMERGE Solopreneurs “Is this Gig for Me?” discussion. We’ll also recap Design Camp.  Bring other topics or questions you want to discuss – or tools and resources you want to share. We like to help all solopreneurs avoid the pitfalls that we have experienced, while you utilize the best practices of self-employment or freelancing.

1:00-1:30 Committee Meeting and 2018–19 Planning
This planning session will be a chance to talk about end-of-year events as well as what you want to see for 2019.

Free to attend, all independent creatives are invited.

Leah Meilander
Chair of Solopreneurs
I am Freelance Visual Designer and Artist based in Bloomington, MN. I have over a decade of experience with brand identities, designing for print & digital, website design, event design, as well as marketing strategy & planning. Overall, I'm more of a generalist who specializes in brand strategy, graphic design, and web design.

In addition to being a freelance designer, I am also a lettering and illustration artist. A lot of my custom hand-drawn work appears in my client projects.

When I’m not designing or drawing, I enjoy climbing/bouldering, lifting, going to movies, dancing, and hanging out with family & friends.
