The Creative Connect was founded by Wendy West and Jess Whiteley, two industry insiders driven by a shared passion for redefining talent acquisition and fostering authentic, lasting creative connections. Having first joined forces in the corporate recruiting world, we quickly became a dynamic duo, celebrated for our blend of expertise, boundless energy, and a refreshingly fun approach to the business.

With deep roots in the A+D industry; Jess in interior architecture and Wendy in industrial design, we bring over 20 years of combined experience to the table. By challenging traditional corporate practices, we have developed an innovative, industry-savvy approach to talent acquisition, offering comprehensive collaborations and specialized recruiting services in architecture, design, fabrication, and beyond.

At The Creative Connect, we believe that effective teams are born from meaningful human connections, fostered through genuine and authentic relationships. That’s why we take a people-first approach, getting to know every candidate and client on a deeper level to ensure the right fit for long-term success. Our mission is to empower clients and top-tier talent alike by creating strategic alignments, nurturing meaningful partnerships, and supporting visionary teams in transforming bold ideas into reality.

In spring 2025, we are taking our commitment even further with the launch of our coaching service. Designed specifically for creative professionals, this new offering will provide tools and strategies to navigate life with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Because great talent deserves a future by design, not just a job.
