✍️ Letter from the Editor

hey Creatives,

Welcome to the very first issue of Creatives Workshop! This magazine is built with you in mind — the artists, entrepreneurs, designers, makers, and all-around visionaries who are shaping culture from the ground up.

This month, we're stepping into the world of bold moves and bright futures. We're kicking things off with an exclusive photoshoot featuring GOLF GIRL BREE, whose energy, style, and eye for luxury have captured the attention of top-tier sponsors in jewelry and eyewear. Bree’s spotlight is not just about the visuals — it’s about the creative confidence that shines through her story.

We’re also excited to introduce you to DBEARS, an emerging brand that's making serious noise in the music and recording space. Their custom in-ears are gaining traction, and we’ll take you behind the scenes of their new social media campaign and brand philosophy.

For the freelancers and small biz warriors, we've included a quick and easy guide on how to craft a professional invoice— because being creative doesn’t mean skipping the business part. We know how busy you already are, so let us help you take a step ahead and not worry about the technicalities of the business.

Lastly, we’d love for you to stay in the loop:
📸 Follow us on Instagram @creativesworkshop
📺 Like & subscribe on YouTube for more interviews, behind-the-scenes, and creative tips.

This is just the beginning — we’re building a creative community that celebrates the process as much as the product. Let’s grow together.

With love,
Pakk
Founder of, Creatives Workshop

In this month’s featured shoot, Creatives Workshop steps onto the green with GOLF GIRL BREE, a rising style icon blending sporty vibes with luxury edge. Known for her effortless cool and bold presence, Bree brings fresh energy to the golf scene —

repping high-end eyewear and statement jewelry from some of today’s top emerging brands. This segment captures her in her element: confident, creative, and unapologetically herself. Through vibrant visuals and a behind-the-scenes interview, we explore how she’s redefining fashion, influencing culture, and building a brand that bridges elegance with authenticity.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

PARTNERING W DBEARS USA

This month, we take a closer look at the bold visual evolution of DBEARS, the rising in-ear brand making waves in the music and recording industry.

With a fresh Instagram redesign, DBEARS is stepping into a new era — one defined by sleek new photography, an intentional aesthetic direction, and a cohesive color palette that reflects the brand's premium, future-facing identity. The revamped visual strategy focuses on clean layouts, high-contrast textures, and artist-centered storytelling to connect more deeply with their growing creative audience.

Every post now works as part of a bigger picture — one that positions DBEARS not just as a product, but as a lifestyle brand rooted in music, movement, and innovation.
