To kick off our 20th year, we gathered a collective of trailblazers at Melbourne’s Hannah St Hotel for a morning of inspiration and connection.

The morning focused on Longevity, with a guest panel of industry leaders—each having shaped the Australian creative landscape for decades—sharing their perspectives on the resilience and vision required to sustain a creative practice. The panel featured Simone Elder and Chloe Quigley of Ortolan (20 years), Shelley Simpson of Mud Australia (30 years), Amanda Henderson of Gloss Creative (25 years), Kate Stokes of Coco Flip (15 years), and Mardi Doherty of Studio Doherty (10 years).

Joined by a broader collective of the creative community, the morning was the perfect opportunity to celebrate connections and the many faces that have been part of our journey.

This gallery captures the stories, insights, and deep connections forged while celebrating twenty years of creative influence.
