Where Creativity Sparks Conection.
We specialize in designing and executing high-impact networking events that go beyond the typical meet-and-greet.

Our Story
Mingle & Muse was born from a simple yet powerful idea: what if networking could be more than just handshakes and business cards? What if it could be transformational?
Founded in Houston, Texas by Nigel Ashford and London Lawrence, Mingle & Muse was created as a space where creativity, connection, and community come together with intention. With backgrounds spanning journalism, event planning, lifestyle coaching, fashion, and advocacy, our founders saw a gap in the traditional event and networking space—one that often missed the opportunity for deeper collaboration, storytelling, and authentic impact.
What started as a shared vision to elevate how people connect has grown into a movement—curating immersive events, spotlighting bold voices, and helping clients tell their stories in a way that resonates. From hosting innovative networking experiences to supporting brands through digital marketing and creative storytelling, our mission is to create space where individuals and organizations can truly be seen, heard, and inspired to grow.
At Mingle & Muse, we don’t just plan events—we build experiences that make people feel connected, valued, and ready to take their next bold step. Whether you're a nonprofit building community, a founder growing a brand, or a creative ready to share your story, we’re here to help you shine.
We started local. We're building global.
