TEDxWellingtonWomen was a half-day event in Wellington streaming live from the main TEDWomen event in New Orleans. The theme this year is 'Bridges'.

TedXWellington also teamed up with a number of local organisations to bring you workshops that challenged, inspired, and built on conversations around bridging the gender gap.

More Than Rubies is a one-day conference to help women develop skill-building, goal-setting, challenge-throwing program to assist taking the next steps in personal and professional development.

With a stellar line up of keynote speakers from a wide range of backgrounds, sharing how they have overcome great obstacles to achieve success and have pushed themselves outside of their comfort zone to create an impact greater than themselves. They share with you their trials, triumphs and learning.

More Than Rubies was brought you by MAD Skills. Keep an eye out for future events from these amazing women.

The Wellingtonian of the Year Awards are a Dominion Post project. Started in 1989 they celebrate achievements and contributions across all sectors of the Greater Wellington community, awarding those who make the greater Wellington region the exciting and vibrant city it is – "the coolest little capital in the world"

Now endearingly known as The Wellys, the awards night celebrates these people across nine categories, with one overall winner recognised as the supreme Wellingtonian of the Year winner.

The Powder Room is a retro-tastic sanctuary for your hair and your soul. Owner and head stylist, Lisa, came to us with a need for photos to show off the salon, and team, for print media and social media. 

Scout Hair turned 4 so we headed along to The Occasional Brewer for an afternoon to brew up some beer! Saison, London Porter and Red IPA. 

Kaibosh Food Rescue: Zero Food Poverty, Zero Food Waste is New Zealand’s first and most well-established food rescue organisation.

Kaibosh delivers 10,000kg of quality surplus food each month to community groups that support people in need. This is the equivalent of 28,500 meals, as well as a 7,785kg reduction in carbon emissions – that’s huge!

So when Kaibosh were in need to fresh new imagery for their corporate communications I jumped at the chance to help out such a great community organisation. 

Check out more of how they help our community, and how you can help them at kaibosh.org.nz

The team at Ocean Brand & Culture launched The Values Deck with a great panel discussion by four business leaders on what makes great values and how they and their teams have developed theirs. 

The process of defining your organisational values can be complex and challenging. Ocean have broken the process down and created a tool to facilitate the conversation in an inspiring and meaningful way. 

Check out what The Values Deck is about and how you can get your hands on a pack here.

Ever since my visit to New Orleans in 2013 I've been taken by the power of the second line – it's the music that makes you move! So being approached by Wellington's own 9-piece second line band to shoot a tableau for their new album, 'We Do It Like That', was a treat! 

Setting up a panoramic-style shoot in a bar with nine musicians at 9am on a Sunday morning (you try coordinating musician's schedules!) was surprisingly smooth – thanks to the professionalism of the Rebels.

Our trip out to The Printing Museum's open day has all of us geeking out!  

With old, rare machines that make monotype and linotype flexing their engineering awesomeness, old presses pushing ink to paper, and rows and rows of type to oh-and-ah over!

The volunteers that run this museum are the real stars, keeping these machines running and introducing the art to new generations. 

Strange Resting Places is set in Italy, 1944: a battle torn-theatre of the Second World War. The allied onslaught stalls at Monte Cassino and the 28th Maori Battalion find themselves centre stage. A young Maori soldier goes out to steal food; an Italian takes cover in a stable. Both find themselves trapped in a potentially deadly stand-off, but with Germans just outside, their survival depends on co-operation.

It combines live music with drama, comedy and performed in Maori, Italian and English, Strange Resting Places shines a light on the complex emotional bonds of New Zealand’s wartime history and the three universals that Maori shared with the Italians: whanau (family), kai (food) and waiata (song) – not to mention wily cunning, a love of vino and a passion for the ladies. Strange Resting Places is theatre crafted from extensive research, contemporary storytelling and personal experience.

Working with these talented actors and the awesome people from Cuba Creative was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Scout! I love working with you on your brand and seeing your gorgeous salon grow! 

It was an awesome Sunday spent celebrating with you and your team learning new skills. My office was filled with the scent of flowers from the workshop with the awesome Twig & Arrow, and I now have my beautiful vase from Wundaire!
