renaissance lab
— on a mission to spread creative aliveness at work
We're a playground for professionals exploring their creativityWe all have creative power — the ability to bring into being what doesn’t yet exist.
Whatever your role, creativity is already alive in your work. It’s the force behind every problem you solve, every relationship you build, every strategy you shape.
But most of us feel disconnected in some way from our creativity.
We’ve been trained to value critical thinking over imaginative thinking. We get skilled at analysing and executing — and neglect our capacity to play, imagine, and experiment.
Our creativity needs both.
Renaissance Lab is here to rebalance the scales — activating both your critical mind and your imagination.
At Renaissance Lab, creativity is for everyone — no matter how uncreative you currently feel

Why invest in creativity?
Most people want to feel more creative, and most organisations want to foster greater creativity — and for good reason.
When we engage in creative activity, our brains light up in a remarkable way. Two major networks — the imaginative network (also known as the default mode network, involved in spontaneous thought, intuition, memory, and meaning-making) and the executive control network (responsible for focus, analysis, and evaluation) — start working together.
It’s like cross-training for the brain. This integration strengthens focus and flexibility, deepens connection, and supports our overall performance and wellbeing.
On a personal level, developing creative capacity reconnects us to ourselves — our sense of agency, possibility, and aliveness at work and in life.
At an organisational level, teams that invest in creativity are more resilient, innovative, and effective over time.
Creativity needs to be nurtured
To feel more creative, we need to bring our brains back into balance by giving them permission to play — to dream, wonder, and make connections.
Just like physical strength, creativity grows through practice. Every time we sketch out an idea, follow our curiosity, or express ourselves, we’re strengthening the neural pathways that support imagination, flexibility, and insight.
Creativity also needs to feel safe. To nurture our creativity, we need environments that are open, curious, and non-judgmental — spaces where experimentation feels safe and failure is part of the process. That’s what you’ll find here at Renaissance Lab.
