INSPIRATION - Suzie Stanford

Earlier this week we were lucky enough to have Georgie Kay from Georgeous Events come to speak to the VM crew. A key source of inspiration Georgie mentioned was keeping up to date with regular blogs and various publications. Whilst on one of her researching quests, Georgie became aware of a Melbourne based innovator Suzie Stanford and began an unbelievable relationship, comissioning Suzie to work on various events. This lady is a true genious! She is a real advocator of the saying 'what is one mans trash is another mans treasure'.

PUBLICATIONS - Gestalten

To keep on top of things I frequently (Daily.. sometimes all day) visit blogs and read books, (Yes I am a nerd..) This fetish started when I enrolled in the VM course and gets worse everyday.
One of my fave stops is Gestalten, a publishing company which only prints books on art and design.
