And that's a wrap!

Brunch by the Beach in Papamoa, Tauranga on the 11th June 2024 was another hugely successful Creative Launchpad event, leaving graphic designers running their own businesses feeling inspired and more confident. We had a morning filled with inspirational speakers, a tasty brunch, fresh coffee and real conversations about the successes and struggles of running a design business.

Thanks to our keynote speaker Nigel Beach

Thanks to Nigel Beach sharing his knowledge of how we can better deal with our physical and mental wellness. We learnt about why we experience stress and how to deal with it, improved life style habits and breathing techniques for better overall mind and body function.
