Side Quests!

For the month of May we are replacing the regular Meetup with a month-long thing — Side Quests!

Solos are encouraged to go out and interact with your community. Attend an event or workshop, volunteer, listed to a lecture or talk, visit a museum or a garden! They can be solo side quests or sociable side quests – Go alone or go together with friends/acquaintances – and they don’t need to be design-related. Go to a play, concert, or sporting event!

Drop a note in our Slack Channel to let us know what you’re attending. We’ll talk about our experiences at our June meeting.

Listed below are a few events but feel free to attend an event not listed:

 

Reminder: There will NOT be a Solopreneurs Meetup on Thursday, May 14. The goal is to get out there (in-person or virtually) and do a little quest or two (or more!) of your own. Grow yourself šŸ™‚

Leah Meilander
Chair of Solopreneurs
I am Freelance Visual Designer, Illustrator, and Lettering Artist based in Bloomington, MN. I have over a decade of experience with brand identities, designing for print & digital, website design and event design.

Through my art & design studio, That's Goodness Design, I offer design services and sell my original artwork. 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, and hanging out with family & friends.
