February 2025 Design Yak: a monthly breakfast for creatives to connect, communicate and collaborate.

A monthly breakfast for creatives to connect, communicate and collaborate.

We’re a group of creatives who meet regularly to talk about the design, business, the creative industry.

We talk aboout the day-to-day challenges of founding, building and managing a creative business and we share our knowledge. 

I’m Carol, the organiser. I started this event in Feb 2017 during the brief stint I had working solo after running a mid-sized studio. I missed walking the talk with other creatives and emailed a few about meeting for breakfast. 

I’m now a design practitioner rather than a practising designer but that’s OK because our cohort includes writers, strategists, photographers, content creators and podcast producers.

Are we a self-help group? Maybe. We’re certainly a brainstrust: each month one of us does a short presentation sharing their specialist knowledge. 
Are we open and transparent? Absolutely.
No agendas, no egos.

We meet at Mr Munro – a restaurant/cafe in Little Collins Street Melbourne. The cost covers a buffet breakfast.

We love newbies joining us. Just jump in and grab a ticket but don’t procrastinate … because of our venue, numbers are limited to 20 and that’s OK because 20 is nice number of people around the table. Ticket sales close 9am the Monday before breakfast.

Want more information? Email and I’ll do my best to answer your questions.
