Meet your hosts

Creative Boom IRL in London is run by four hosts who, between them, cover a healthy slice of the capital's thriving creative life.

The team includes graphic designer Arianna Cerroni; creative business coach Ivy Malik, author of Kill the Pitch; Benji Wiedemann, co-founder of brand consultancy Wiedemann Lampe; and Michela Bruno, the motion designer behind Rainboway.

Four hosts, one job: making our biggest chapter feel like our friendliest. In a city this size, it's the easiest room in town to walk into alone – most people do, so don't be shy. Say hi.
