“Creative Journeys”, powered by Squarespace is a series of free, in-person and online events taking place across Aotearoa New Zealand for 2025.

With this year’s theme of ‘Design Academy’, each event also includes a Free learning session led by a local agency or designer with a focus on tactical Design tips and business knowledge. 

Join us in Pōneke on 22 May for a morning of learning and connection with featured creatives, Rose & Hailey, from The Creatives

We’ll kick off the morning with coffee and delicious pastries before diving into the featured talk before ending with a bit of Q&A

Featured Session topic: ‘Web Design in the Age of No-Code: The Future is Already Here’

In this session Hailey and Rose will show you how designers can embrace no-code tools without losing their creative edge. They’ll teach you how “custom” doesn’t always mean starting from scratch, and how to position no-code solutions as a high-value offering for clients. You’ll leave with a whole new appreciation (and maybe a slight hyperfixation) with no-code tools.
