A huge thanks to you and your team for pulling together such an amazing retreat. I know there is much more to come but it already feels like we’re starting to connect the dots and make positive changes for our studio.

Thank you all for such an unforgettable weekend! I feel deeply grateful to have been a part of this experience and being provided the opportunity to get to know everyone – I have learnt so much already!

Massive thanks to the Niche team & sponsors for your time, generosity and energy into making this happen! And to the mentors & 30U30 cohort for your kindness, authenticity, openness & insights.

Feeling incredibly inspired and energised. Looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone

Hi Team,

On the way home and reflecting on an incredible trip.

Firstly a huge congratulations to Paul and the Niche team for pulling a wonderful event  together, so much care and consideration into all the events and small details that we’ll treasure long after the Bali tan fades.

To the sponsors, thank you so much for being a part of such a wonderful initiative, and genuinely and generously supporting the future of our industry.

To my fellow mentors – I’ve admired you all, even before meeting you and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know the gorgeous people behind your amazing work, I look forward to staying in touch.

Finally to the super talented and inspiring top 30 – it was wonderful to meet and share this experience with you, so excited to take this forward, learn with you, and watch your big beautiful futures evolve.

Thank you all so much

Feeling your pain…. Also landed in Sydney this being and right back into it.
Also wanted to thank Niche. Pulling this off as well as you did was a mammoth effort and I thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to connect in with the incredible next gen of designers.
Also to the sponsors. Great to spend time with guys outside of the craziness of the studio.
To my fellow mentors. Loved meeting you and hanging out together. You are beautiful people.
Finally to the famous 30. You are such an inspiring bunch. Really looking to follow all of your upcoming successes…. And most of all enjoy your careers. We are part of one of the most exciting professions.

Good morning!

Also back in Melbourne and straight into the thick of it

I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone for the most incredible weekend. Our conversations, your warmth and authenticity – I feel extremely grateful, inspired, and connected in this sometimes isolating world

To the Niche team and sponsors for not only making it happen, and creating these opportunities for which I so appreciate, but also for being so welcoming and encouraging

To the mentors for your openness and honesty – your insights have already helped me feel more focused and prepared to navigate the upcoming months

I’m so excited to see all the wonderful things that are happening and what comes next for you all, in both work and life. Looking forward to keeping these connections we’ve made

Steph
