About

Creative Notes And is a digital space for curious minds, artists, and innovators who see creativity as a driving force for change. Launched in late 2024, the project has already reached 5,000+ reads in its first year, with minimal reliance on social media (maybe just a couple of good ideas that traveled far made it possible).

Here’s what you’ll find:

A Guide to Creativity 

Practical insights, methods, and reflections to spark inspiration and keep projects flowing.

Social Impact 

Stories and tools connecting creativity with sustainability, and the SDGs.

Music Production

Articles and resources for music production, sound exploration, and creative audio work.

Creative Notes And seeks to foster contamination between cultures, ideas, and diverse visions. The “&” in the logo symbolizes the many other facets that creativity can take on, especially by highlighting its applications in the fields of humanitarian and social development.

The Philosophy

  1. A more creative world is a better world
    because everyone can express themselves. And expression, beyond being a right, is a fundamental human need. It means existing.
  2. Creativity operates on multiple levels and impacts various industries.
    This is a space for many voices and diverse disciplines.
  3. Art and culture are inclusive
    Because they are the expression of the people who live in a place or share their ideas. Listening is always important.
  4. Culture speaks an international language,
    Without any borders. That’s what we aim to do here.
  5. Culture, beauty, and art are a powerful tool to make the world better.
    The concept of harmony is not just for music; it’s a true way of living in the world.

Who I am

I am Stefania Barbato, a marketing strategist, learning designer, and amateur music producer. I believe creativity is made of inspiration and discipline, not just a talent—and this project is my way to share that journey with you. –> Website | IG | In
