Lisa's series/discussion panel was an absolute blast! Her concept to bring together people from all walks of the design industry - the thinkers, the tinkerers, designers, doers and go-getters - and peer into their minds, was not just fascinating and inspiring, but was and is simply appreciated. As a designer and fellow appreciator of small things done exceptionally well, it stoked that feeling of curiosity and possibility that simmers inside, stirring me to think, discuss, and want to create. Come along - I promise you won't regret the good thoughts, great food, and exceptional company!

What an evening – a beautiful space, delicious food, and room full of lovely folk there to soak up the inspiring insights from Lisa and her specialist guests. A proper reminder that small things (done well) really do make a big difference.

 "Small Things Done Exceptionally Well”  Lisa hosted well-guided conversations with Dan Haupton from Jardan and Barry Bradley of Architectural Hardwood Joinery, who shared insights that deepened my understanding of craft and intention. Dan's passionate explanation of joinery design and Bradley's profound relationship with timber captivated us all. 

The culinary offerings matched the intellectual feast that shared the evening's theme through flavour and texture.

We departed with more conversation yet to be had with friends and peers, and a renewed appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship in all its forms.
