Historically, salons were where people came together to talk, argue, eat, and most importantly, sharpen ideas. We commune with emerging designers 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 group of emerging designers (10-15) 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.
This is for designers committed to their craft and to growing their businesses. It's where mentorship happens in real time.
Five lunches through the back half of the year, each on one honest topic. Reserve early to save your space. If you're in, you'll receive a confirmation email one week out from the lunch.
We started in June, and the room filled. The rest of the year built from there.
Reserve a seat at the next Open House, or stay in the loop and we'll tell you what's next before anyone else.
