How We Create.
How We Create is an exciting brand new website launched this month during Saturday in Design in Melbourne. Husband and I were lucky to attend the official launch at Sun Studios in Cremorne, which felt more like a cozy get-together with friends, rather than an official launch thing, if ya know what I mean. What I’m trying to say is that it was low key, easy, warm, with lots of lovely and clever people in the room. My kind of event.
Co-founded by Australian designer Helen Kontouris and manufacturer Norman Johnson of Palamont, How We Create is a web portal on a mission to connect designers and manufacturers in Australia. Their goal is to support and grow the Australian design industry, and to increase our global awareness and export opportunities of Australian made products. Hooray!
The site is there to inspire the design community and push for local innovation, and also showcase a step by step process of designing and manufacturing products for the Design and Architecture industries in Australia. It is a truly wonderful initiative and an ambitious undertaking by everyone involved, and it’s co-founders have been very generous with their knowledge, contacts, resources and funds in their effort to establish a platform for creators to come together and cook up a quantum soup of pure potentiality. Honestly, how good is that?
I encourage you to take a little walk around the site, join the community of local designers and manufacturers by registering and getting involved. And if you have a project of your own or know someone who does, you can share it with others by submitting a story right here.
Ok, before I sign off I have to thank Sharon for including yellowtrace amongst the clever people showcased on the site. If you feel like having a little read, you can check out the feature right here. I can’t even begin to tell you how honoured I am to be featured alongside the likes of David Trubridge, Charles Wilson, Helen Kontouris, ISM Objects, Andrew Simpson, Jon Goulder, Simone LeAmon, Christina Waterson, Nick Rennie to name just a few. Ohhh, so grown up, right?
Also, check out this fantastic interview with the co-founder Helen Kontouris,where she talks about her desire to establish a culture of dialogue between Australian designers and manufactures.
Ok guys, is it just me or is this super inspiring stuff? Go on then – register, spread the word and get involved!

Just read your article at ‘How We Create’ and just love your comment re: whistling like a boy. Talented, creative AND funny (-:
Aww… Thank you Linda, you are way too kind! It’s so true though – I’d love to be able to whistle like a boy! How cool would that be? Very!
