EVENT FEEDBACK:

“Co-working with like-minded creatives really does create the perfect environment for feeling productive, supported and also sociable. Freelance and remote work can often feel quite isolating, so it was lovely to be able to come and work, and pause every now and then to get feedback, chat or just have a laugh together.” - IG: @charlieanneart

"As an illustrator, I have been working alone in my studio for few years. Attending the co-working session is a new experience for me & I felt like I was working with my colleagues(finally! :P). The fact that I get constructive opinions and advices from other awesome illustrators straight away is brilliant. The vibes of the session was chill and relaxing. I would definitely go again!" - IG: @draw.it.au

"It’s great to have genuine connections with other creatives where one can freely express concerns or celebrate joys. Even more important to create a sense of self-discipline in your practice, supported by others doing the same." - IG: @shirotenzhen
