Join us for a panel discussion with inspiring women who shifted to small business ownership, followed by a community celebration with drinks
About this event
Join us for an inspiring panel discussion with three trailblazing women who made pivots in their careers towards small business ownership. Following this, we’ll host our regular community celebration event where, as you’ve come to expect, we’ll have drinks, music, fashion and lovely people for you to meet!
We have partnered with Women on Our Way - a London-based community whose mission is to support women through pivot moments in their career journeys. Together, we'll put a spotlight on fearless women who have followed their dreams and made the change towards becoming small business owners. Our hope is you will come away inspired to continue moving towards your passions and dreams as well, whatever they are!
To begin the evening we’ll be joined by three incredible women - Daisy Harvey and Silvia Venialgo, who will share insider insights into the do’s/don’ts & good/bad/ugly of what it means to make a big shift in your professional journey. They’ll share with us what they’ve experienced in the journey towards following their dreams, and the tips & tricks they picked up along the way.
Following this, we’ll invite our community to come mingle, browse through our carefully curated collection from local sustainable fashion brands, and keep the conversation going around inspiration, discovery and growth!
Meet our panel
- Daisy, Loom App: Taking a risk and leaving her job with Burberry, Daisy decided to commit fulltime to developing Loom, the platform that connects you to local designers to create upcycled and bespoke clothing using pieces already in your closet.
- Silvia, Eldorado the Studio: holds a degree in architecture and honed her architectural skills in Argentina. After relocating to London in 2020, she set forth on a new adventure and established her own home textiles brand, with a mission to celebrate her Latin heritage and leverage her architectural expertise to craft handmade products in limited quantities, all while prioritising sustainability. The essence of each design lies in crafting unique pieces with a timeless allure, inspiring individuals to appreciate the beauty of perfectly imperfect handmade and naturally dyed items.
- Louise, Illustrated by Weezy: is a South London illustrator who creates bold, affordable, and contemporary wall prints, carefully curated to bring a smile to people's faces and celebrate life’s little moments. From studying Product Design at university, to dabbling in graphic design, and then finally working in B2B marketing roles within the UK and Australia, it's safe to say her career journey hasn't been linear. But one thing she's known deep down is that she's always wanted to start her own small creative business. Louise believes that each job has helped her to build the relevant skills and confidence to finally leave the corporate world and take the leap of faith to now run her own art print and gifting company.
