Historically, salons were where people came together to talk, argue, eat, and most importantly, sharpen ideas. We bring designers together, established and emerging alike, to share the truth about our industry, our businesses, and how we navigate toward our goals.
Our take on the salon idea: we break bread (in a very good restaurant) and get real about the business of design.
A monthly lunch where we sit down with a small room of designers and talk about the parts of the business nobody posts. Pricing. Markups. The client you should have walked from. What we charge, what we accept, and what we'd never do again. You bring your questions when you reserve; we bring decades of what worked and what cost us.
Established, emerging, whatever you call yourself: if you're serious about this work, you belong at the table. It's where mentorship happens in real time.
Everybody's selling you AI. We're talking about where it actually saves you time versus where it's just noise dressed up as strategy. What's working in our studios right now, and what we've quietly stopped using.
Reserve your seatCome for one, then keep coming. Here's the whole year, past lunches included, so you can see the room we're building. Reserve early, our rooms are small.
Reserve a seat at the next Open House, or stay in the loop and we'll tell you what's next before anyone else.
