There is nothing as invigorating as surrounding yourself with like-minded creatives.
Everything was amazing! The breakout rooms, albeit short, were fun yet informative. (No time for the awkward “anyone have any questions?” situation.) The keynote speaker was informative and personable. And the box was EXQUISITE! Thank you so much!

The Live [unboxed] event was extremely insightful and pulled together a broad group of people which, for independent designers who may not have much of a network to begin with, is very helpful.

Hi, I’m Sabine.
An award winning graphic designer with more than 20 years experience working in Germany, Australia and the US, I am passionate about paper and print – and great design of course – and want to share this passion and my knowledge with other designers and brand owners.
I have experienced first-hand the gap that exists between what designers know – what you and I learned – about paper and print and what is actually possible when you look at paper trends and advances in print technology today.
The PRO membership is the kind of resource and community I wish I’d had throughout my design career.
A place where you can hang out with like-minded designers, ask questions, get tips, insights and have access to the latest swatchbooks and promotions.
