But you think deeply about Te Whanganui-O-Tara, Wellington.

You were born and raised here.

You have quite a deep affinity.

Obviously came back here after university and continued to grow Yume here along with the family.

Why do you care so much about Wellington, I guess?

And what do you want to see Wellington be?

You've thought so deeply about what Wellington needs and how important creativity is in Wellington.

And it's always been the essence of what makes this city really special on a global stage, let alone here in Aotearoa.

How can we re-own that creative technology capital that we are?

Yeah, I remember when I was deciding what university to go to and I came here to Wellington, I remember on Marion Street, Creative HQ used to be there.

And it literally was creators and makers, they were sewing machines in there.

And it was quite funny, full circle, when we started Sharesies, we were in Creative HQ as a tech company and it pivoted obviously quite a bit.

But you talked about an event that's coming up.

Tell us a little bit about Common Materials and

Yeah, well, you know, we're really thankful.

We're really stoked to be a partner.

and, you know, sponsor of this.

Also really thankful for you to be putting so much effort.

We're going to be chatting again on, well, obviously probably before Sunday, but at least on Sunday at 10am, we're going to have the Value of Artistry panel, which tickets are still available.

If anyone would like to come along, please do.
