Launching a Startup?
Building a Brand?
Nashville is the Spot.
Welcome to the most creative place in America.
When you think of Nashville and its place in creativity, the music industry is the main thing people think about. However, the music industry creates a strong draw for visual creatives (designers, photographers, developers, craftsmen) who want to be surrounded by that culture and work with them. And yes, we just listed developers as a creative profession.
Designers love it here
Every design students dream project is the album artwork for their favorite band. It would make sense that many aspiring artists and designers find their way to Nashville. And beyond that, many musicians can’t afford to hire designers so they do it themselves. Many musicians are actually quite talented visually and end up using design or coding as a way to make and income while still working on their music career. We would even argue that fundamental understanding of patterns and balance are used in music, design, code and visual composition.
Nashville has an ever increasing creative capacity. It is the perfect spot to start a business (in any field) because of the sheer number of people who can help you build and create your next big thing.
