Worked with
Creatives Connect
(the experiment)
Creatives Connect is a human learning experience for deeper connection in creative work.
​
Our work is grounded in the NetLearning™ Framework: a proprietary methodology first outlined in the book Networking When You Don’t Like to Network. It centers on curiosity, reflection, and learning as the foundations for authentic connection in today’s professional landscape.
​
Get involved if you want to attend the next experiment as a participant or if you want to collaborate (co-design, sponsors, facilitators). Also, if you want to host this at your school, company or conference!
Book release!
If networking feels overwhelming or inauthentic, this book is for you! Networking When You Don’t Like to Network started as a passion project, born from a desire to help early-career creatives approach networking with a more meaningful approach. This small book lays the foundation for a more fulfilling way to connect long term! Now available on Amazon!

About me
You have to be lost to find a place that can't be found - Barbossa
Hi there!
I am a creative talent and strategic business partner from Spain with +10 years of experience in the media & entertainment industry. I moved to California in 2012 starting from scratch, learning a new language and re-building my career with no network (quite an adventure!)
I am driven by unlocking people's potential and embrace diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity. Never cease to be amazed by the power or curiosity and collaboration.
​
My most recent experiences include working with The Walt Disney Company in recruitment for Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and later in Human Resources for Production at Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios. I contributed to notable projects such as Moana, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen II, and the planning of Shanghai Disneyland.
After nearly 8 years at Disney, I partnered with Getty Images, where I managed creative and editorial teams covering sports, news, and entertainment in the United States and Latin America.
In addition to my specialization in talent, and finding opportunities to elevate employee experiences and business outcomes in Media & Entertainment, I founded this brand, Creative Career Thinking!
