The Vancouver-based husband and wife team started Poppytalk in 2005, a design blog of carefully curated features of DIY, handmade and vintage products. In the 11 years they’ve been around, they’ve taken all social media platforms by storm. Poppytalk has also been lauded by InStyle’s Magazine as “Best of the Web”, and they have been invited to write for Wired, IKEA Family Live, Yahoo’s Shine and Babble.com.
Jantine and Vivian started April and May in 2008 and together, the dynamic design- duo built a styling agency with a focus on interior, styling and concepts. They have since expanded their brand, launching an online shop in 2012, and are collaborating with Blogtoday.nl, an influencer network by Sanoma, a Dutch publisher. They also work with a selected team of Dutch design bloggers to create and execute styling campaigns.
A mother of five, Rachel Faucett is the creator of many beautiful and inspiring DIY projects. Her blog features her custom-made products that are perfect for anyone looking to build their own unique living space. Handmade Charlotte has also been named one of the Top 50 Design Blogs for Moms by Babble.com, and featured in publications like Martha Stewart Living and Huffington Post.
The Melbourne-based team is no stranger to the media: they have been featured on Vogue Living Australia, Wrap Magazine and Frankie Mag to name just a few. Jess Wright and Lara Davies don’t just create intricately designed textile and screen prints, they teach others to do the same with weekly workshops. They’ve also collaborated with the National Gallery of Victoria Design Store to produce an exclusive range of beautifully colored shirts, bags and caps.
