Bay Area creatives. I’m pretty new living here and wondering how ya’ll connect and network in the remote world? I’ve been remote here since 2020. I spent 10 years building my network out in Asia where I lived previously. I have a few people I know in LA and NY but I believe it’s important to build a network out where my home base is. I realize I’m building my network from scratch, and it’s a lot harder, I feel, working remotely here too.

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!!

Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!
