Samantha Hobbelen, Event Designer and Founder of Sapia Creative, on how she balances the brief, the vision and the budget, when creating luxury events around Australia.

Update: 2025-03-24

Description

With over 15 years experience in the events' industry, Samantha Hobbelen is the creative force, and founder, behind Sapia Creative. Samantha is a natural entrepreneur, and she shared with us how she's applies her creativity, both conventionally and unconventionally, in building her brands. Samantha also took us through her creative process; how she starts with the big picture vision, and then, if ever an obstacle hits - she utters - how can we reverse engineer this? Until she's brought that vision to fruition. And finally, we also shared our mutual love for Thomas Jolly's 2024 Paris Olympics' Opening Ceremony.
