Connect Create Labs was first envisioned in 2017, born from the desire to see more collaboration in innovation. Our vision is to build a future where technology is shaped with purpose, ethical-inclusivity, and driven by collaboration. We are grounded in values of access, creativity, and community, knowing that progress happens when people come together to share knowledge and ideas. Connect Create Labs serves both emerging and seasoned professionals, as well as partners who believe in the power of collective innovation. Through workshops, education, and cross-collaboration, our goal is to create spaces where people grow together and drive meaningful impact. Founded by Shannon A. Jenkins, a UX designer and community builder, Connect Create Labs reflects years of experience connecting people, understanding needs, and shaping solutions that belong to everyone.
