In February 2013, we were super stoked to have the Co-founder and Head of Design at Xero, Philip Fierlinger presented on the global theme of “Money”.

Philip shared insights from his experiences reshaping the UX of money at Xero, the popular cloud accounting software. Xero is at the forefront of a whole new generation of financial apps that are dramatically changing the way people perceive and interact with their money.

CreativeMornings /Auckland with Trash FootwearFriday 22 March, 8:00am - 9:30amSitka Flagship Store (limited to 50*) This month we are lucky enough this dynamic duo all the way up from Raglan, Ben Galloway & Melissa McMahon from Trash Footwear present on the global theme of “Reuse”. “Imagine if they closed all the rubbish dumps tomorrow?” Well we have, and have been building Trash Footwear with this thought in mind! Trash Footwear is a brand that aims to inform people of the massive potential of ‘waste’ materials that would ordinarily end up in landfill; in the process questioning why we create something called ‘waste’ in the first place! Our range of footwear is made largely from locally sourced on-going waste streams, and it is through the collection of these materials that we have begun to see the many others ways in which we can transform this so-called ‘rubbish’ into *rather fancy* yet functional items! Resources are running low in this world, but rubbish isn’t! All that is needed now is an effective and creative way of collecting, distributing and repurposing these abundant materials… maybe one that could help bridge the gap between business and community?

Launched in September 2011, Gather & Hunt is an online experiment disguised as a culture guide. It’s a directory, event guide and magazine that documents and celebrates all the wonderful places, people and things happening in Auckland city. The purpose of Gather & Hunt is to make it easy for everyone to appreciate how lucky they are to be living right here - think of it as a map to the magic. In fact, g&hers are so dedicated to urban magic that they sometimes create it themselves in the form of Tasting Clubs (very special breakfasts, lunches, dinners) and Stomping Grounds (neighbourhood take-overs). Becoming a gather & hunt reader immediately transports you into a community of people who love to share their neighbourhood wisdom - people who care about the city they live in and have made a conscious choice to make the most of it. *** We are super stoked to be collaborating with Gather & Hunt this year to bring you creative breakfasts for CreativeMornings Auckland events in 2013!
