November 2024 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 tribe of creatives who meet regularly to talk about the business of design.

We get together monthly to talk about design and business, our industry and our careers. 

We have interesting conversations around the day-to-day challenges of founding, building and managing a creative business. We talk about the highs and lows of our month and we share 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 no longer a practising designer — I’m the co-founder of the Design Business Council 

Our tribe has grown to include writers, strategists, photographers, content creators and podcast producers.

Are we a self-help group? Maybe.
Are we open and sharing? Absolutely.
No agendas, no egos.

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.
