Next week Wednesday evening, VW Home will be hosting a roundtable discussion with myself, Michael Bruno from 1stdibs, fashion designer Amsale, Jason Kontos (editor-in-chief of New York Spaces) and Preston Bailey where we will share with attendees how we got to where we are, doing it somewhat differently from the rest (I did it my way!).
This informal round table event will give people an insight into how you can be successful in your creative industry without having to follow the standard routes and obtaining the standard qualifications – all in an casual information-sharing setting.
Attendance is by invitation only, but I wanted to offer a chance to a couple of New York-based blog readers to join us on Wednesday night. If you are free and interested, please leave a comment here and we may contact you with an invitation to join early next week!
Have a happy weekend.

Fortunately, meeting you last April at the “All the Best” morning event was a treat, but unfortunately, I cannot attend…alas, this sounds like a wonderful venue to those who can make it.
Wishing you well.
