love had a face.
This site is for LHAF and what it will be just like LHAF is for creatives and who they are destined to become - they just need a nudge, an encouraging word - lasting validation. That's what LHAF will offer in the form of uniquely currated, authentically targeted events.This is about acknowledging missed connections as designers, artists, makers. LHAF (Love Had a Face) is about reconnecting with what we may have missed out on in the form of Life, Opportunities, Validation, and Encouragement.Maybe it was a time you said no instead of yes or that time you kept it to yourself when you should have shared it or all those moments you decided it "wasn't the right time" when it could have been. Whatever caused you to miss out on who you felt you sould have been, LHAF is here to recconect you with that person - whoever they are.

Currated Collaboration: Connections
That Lead Somewhere
It’s not always easy putting yourself out there—social anxiety and creative insecurity can get in the way. That’s why LHAF’s collaboration gatherings are all about creating a relaxed, supportive space where real connections can happen. Like with our “Finding Your People” events, we take time to get to know you first so we can help make introductions feel more natural—and more likely to lead to something meaningful.
Incremental Funding: Finding Validation Through Action
Funding isn’t just about money—it’s about feeling seen. At LHAF, we get that creative confidence often comes from both internal belief and outside support. Our Incremental Funding gatherings are designed to help you break big ideas into smaller, achievable steps, making it easier to get the backing you need. We celebrate the small wins and keep the momentum going, because progress—no matter how slow—is still progress, and your work deserves to move forward.
Resource Sharing: Turning Obstacles Into Encouragement
Sometimes the hardest part of being creative is feeling stuck—like you’re missing the tools, know-how, or support to actually move forward. LHAF’s Resource Sharing gatherings are here to help change that. We focus on figuring out what’s missing and finding ways to fill in the gaps—whether that’s gear, guidance, or just a pep talk from someone who gets it. Sometimes a little support is all it takes to get things going again.
Find Your People (Expanding Your Creative Circle)
You’ve always wanted to find your people—the ones who really get what you do, who inspire you and help you grow. But networking usually feels awkward, forced, or like you have to prove yourself. LHAF does things differently. We take the time to get to know you beforehand—what you’re looking for, what you bring, and what kind of connections you’d love to make—so when it’s time to meet others, it feels a lot more natural, and a lot less awkward.

The FAHL is a mini audio series focussing on creatives who’ve paused, pivoted or started over later in life. It’s a space to talk honestly about what it means to feel late, guilty and self-concious about reaching a goal months, years or even decades after we thought we would. This isn't about dwelling on what we could have done but about sharing how we learned to grow at our own pace.Each episode, through stories/ experiences explores a stage in that process: forgiving yourself for the time lost, accepting where you are now, healing from the weight of comparison or burnout, and learning how to develop creatively in your own time.
If you've experienced the guilt, self-consciousness and stagnation that comes with unfulfilled creative potential and have developed into someone you're proud of (or are learning to be proud of), I would love to talk to you.
