The Asian Creative Foundation is an organization that provides community and resources for entry-level creatives. They help talent to navigate creative careers, and break into the industry. They amplify the stories of AAPI talent and advocate for their success.
Working Not Working partnered with the Asian Creative Foundation to make an impact among the next generation of AAPI creative talent. We co-hosted and planned two events as part of the activities for their Asian Creative Festival. We also worked on a specially curated playlist which we promoted to Working Not Working’s large community of recruiters.

Curated Playlist
Through a special account that I initiated at Working Not Working, the Asian Creative Foundation was able to curate a special list for the talent in their community. AAPI creatives seeking opportunities were then promoted to the Working Not Working’s network of recruiters.
