Introducing Creative Journeys, powered by Squarespace

2 months ago by

We are thrilled to announce “Creative Journeys”, powered by Squarespace, a free, in-person event taking place on 20 August in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

In this event and article series we delve into the experiences of five self-employed creatives – Evie Kemp, Becca O’Shea, Mark Easterbrook, and Hannah & Nick Ippolito – exploring each of their different creative pathways, how they’ve navigated crafting a livelihood aligned with their values and the challenges that have shaped where they are today.

In the lead-up to the free event, we’ll be releasing a different article interview with each of our featured event speakers, giving you a taster of their career journeys and the types of conversations we’ll be diving into at the live event.

Event Details: 

Join us for an evening of candid kōrero, drinks and nibbles with a live panel discussion beginning at 5:30pm at The Ever Room. This is your opportunity to connect with your fellow Aotearoa NZ creatives and gain insights from each other’s journeys. More details can be found here.
