Amanda Henderson launched her business, Gloss Creative, 17 years ago – after being retrenched from a visual merchandising role at Country Road. What ensued has been a stellar career of incredible large-scale event design concepts – including a spectacular re-creation of Versailles inside a racing marquee, collaborating with artist Bill Henson, and even making it rain on a fashion runway!
With a tiny team of just 3 fulltime staff, and a huge network of regular contractors, Gloss Creative is a nimble operation who punch well above their weight. This is a team who revel in realizing the impossible – and creating what they call ‘temporary but enduring emotion’ in every project their produce.
Amanda has SO MANY incredible pearls of wisdom to share with fellow creatives! We love her motto – ‘design like you don’t have to install it, or pay for it!’.
In this podcast, Amanda shares her tips for building great relationships with clients, how the changing retail landscape has propelled her business – and why staying small and nimble has proven a winning strategy.
