INTRODUCING THE
Venue and Location
Malibu Farm at
Lido Marina Village
Newport Beach, California
Enjoy a boutique-style learning experience that feels like a vacation. Our speaker sessions will be held at Malibu Farm's event space in Lido Marina Village, which offers al fresco dining waterside and the opportunity to explore a mix of charming shops. This is Newport Beach at its best... casual, comfortable and chic in equal measure! Our workshop location is just a stroll away from Lido House Hotel, where we have a room block secured for those who would like to stay in walking distance.
Malibu Farm will be providing fresh, farm-to-table food for us during the entire workshop, all of which is included in your workshop ticket.

The Speaker Lineup
We've hand-picked industry experts to share their knowledge and take you on the journey of how they got there. As creative entrepreneurs, we all started with a blank slate. We've poured our hearts into businesses that are now thriving because we took that first step—to believe in ourselves and say out loud: "I CAN make a living doing what I love." This is your opportunity to learn from creatives you admire, in-person, face-to-face, real success and failure stories shared. We're pulling back the curtain on how they took their business to the next level.

Working with HAVEN to elevate our start-up home decor business through collaborative social posts was a great investment for our brand. As we assessed the countless social partnership opportunities, we knew that HAVEN was the right choice for us given the consistent brand message and likeminded audience. Working with Melissa was easy, flexible and an overall pleasure. We look forward engaging with HAVEN again in the near future.

have questions?
The first year of business for most designers can be the most challenging. But think about it this way—if you start with your entrepreneurial toolbox only halfway full, it’ll likely take you longer to achieve your goals and in the long run it’ll take longer to build a profitable business. Investing in ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, but one of the wisest decisions we can make as business owners. Not only will our workshop equip you with the tools you need, but you’ll get a behind the biz look at how our incredible experts have blazed the trail. The answer? Now is the perfect time.
I haven’t launched my business yet, should I wait to take this workshop until I do?
No.1
We’ll put it to you this way—our speakers are actually excited to learn from one another at this workshop! They each approach their business models slightly differently and have various strengths they will be touching on. While we will be covering a lot of basics on getting a design business up and running, and further growing your entrepreneurial game, this experience is so much more than that. It’s an opportunity to learn different processes, next level ideas and creative ways to approach your business goals. We’ve listed our speaker topics above in our rough sample timeline as well and we’d be happy to answer any additional questions HERE or by using our chat box on this page.
I’ve been in the industry for a few years already. What will this workshop teach me that I don’t already know?
No.2
Yes! We have a three month payment plan option available if you sign up during early bird enrollment period (July 10th–July 20th). After July 20th, our regular ticket price will provide an option to pay in two installments. CLICK HERE to learn more and enroll.
Is there a payment plan available?
No.3
If someone told you that you could invest around $7 a day in your first year of business and come out more knowledgeable and more profitable beyond that first year, would you do it? Our workshop may only take place over three days, but those three days can change SO much. We specifically designed a boutique-style event with luxe touches because we believe this is a moment to be celebrated. Investing in yourself and your business is a huge step and one that we don't take lightly. Our speakers and industry experts have all been hand-picked for their incredible ability to thoughtfully share their experiences with you. Additionally each of them have previously spoken at educational events, markets, conferences and workshops.
i'd love to attend, but I'm not sure I can justify the investment right now. What makes it worth the price?
No.4
We get it! If an in-person workshop isn't in the cards for you right now, we completely understand. We currently do not offer online courses, but hope to in the future. We decided to start our educational offerings in the form of in-person workshops because we've seen first-hand how face-to-face events have truly been catalysts for business owners. As mentioned, many of us have attended or spoken at other events and we can say with confidence that nothing is comparable to the real conversations you will have, the laughter, the tears, and the openness of your fears, struggles, goals and achievements with your fellow entrepreneurs and mentors.
this sounds amazing, but I'm SO busy and would prefer to do an online course. Do you have opportunities for online learning?
No.5
Yay! We can't wait to meet you! We have secured a discounted rate at Lido House Hotel, which is in walking distance from our venue and surrounding Lido Marina Village area. Please mention HAVEN when calling to make your reservation.
