Thanks again for the VERY helpful event! It was great to be around so many motivated and creative people. Thanks, too, for posting your PR pdf, incredibly valuable.

A big thanks to Grace & all the talented ladies who attended the biz lady event last week. As a fellow graphic designer, it was really great to see so many of you pursuing not only your graphic careers, but also turning hobby into fruition. Really INSPIRING!

A great reminder to keep making jewelry, cards, and generally getting off the computer! Go ladies go!

I am sorry I missed it; I too planned to go but babies were calling that night—I’ll plan better next time. Please include me in a regular meet-up for bay area—I would love that—thanks for the comments; the event sounds lovely and I hope to catch the next one :)

A big thank you for all of the effort that went into making this happen. You’re a dynamo.
You’re really an important spokesperson for the new business paradigm — people sharing info and helping one another to be successful, feeding one another.
Merci.

Oh, I forgot….thanks to DWR for hosting the event. I went to a fashion event in conjuction with ReadyMade magazine. DWR really seems to support independent design.

I am so disappointed that I couldn’t make it…I had it on my calender for months.

Please, please let me know if you decide to meet up in SF/Bay area again. I would love to meet up with other creative types….anyone from the South Bay?

Thanks for such an inspiring night with lots of entrepreneurial gals!

If anyone on the Peninsula or South Bay are interested in forming an ongoing creative biz group, shoot me an email… mona@re-modern.com

p.s. Grace’s PR tips really work! :)

It was an awesome evening. Each of the speakers had something really valuable to share about owning/starting/helping a creative business – warts and all. It’s good to know that a lot of us have similar concerns.

I met some people whom I had never met face-to-face before. That was great. It would have been awesome if we could have all stood in a circle or something and introduced ourselves very briefly, because I just know there were people I didn’t meet because it seemed rude to walk around peering at everyones’ chest (nametags!) That would have taken a while though; there were a lot of women there.

The mini cupcakes were awesome, as were the larger carrot cake cupcakes. Yum!

Thanks so much Grace. It was truly lovely to meet you.

I thought it was rsvp only and since I didn’t, I didn’t go. Now I regret it. So…next time…if there is a next time.

Thank you so much, Grace for organizing this event! I was happily surprised by the warmth, conviviality, and mutual interest & support in the room. Thanks to all the speakers for the really interesting and helpful talks, and thanks to DWR for hosting us. I went away that night fairly bursting with energy and inspiration! I second Karen’s, MissNatalie’s, and Jillian’s suggestions. I’d love to have follow-up to this event.
