Retreat Testimonials

The TDC Palm Springs trip was an experience of a lifetime... The private house tours, the open homes, the insights into the local designers work, along with the chance to meet, talk and socialise with them... all just added up to such an incredible, fun experience.

- Michelle Walker, MWA Architects
2025 Palm Springs

The private home tours Andrew organised made the trip so special as this was something I would not have been able to experience without being part of this design trip. I really enjoyed the social aspect of the trip with all the wonderful lunches and dinners at classic design hotels and iconic restaurants.

- Gabrielle Reinhardt, Berkeley Interiors

I'm now just over a week back from what I can only describe as an extraordinary trip of a lifetime. I'm still floating on cloud nine and hope to maintain this feeling throughout the year and beyond.

- Tennille Joy, Tennille Joy Interiors

The whole experience was inclusive, informative, inspirational, fun and exciting! So many 'wow' moments far outweighed any expectations that I had.

This isn't just a retreat to teach you things about design and business, this retreat feeds your soul and your tummy too! It's hard to describe the retreat in just a few words because you leave feeling inspired, ready to take on the World of design, and also so relaxed.
 

I learnt things that will change the way I live and design. Be prepared to make friendships for a lifetime with other like-minded design lovers, the kind of friendships that engulf your heart in warmth. You can tell that Andrew comes from the most genuine place in wanting you to live your absolute best life. I would highly recommend and suggest everyone jumps at the tickets when the next retreat dates are released, it will change your life for the better.

Thank you TDC!

The retreat was an amazing opportunity to take time away from working IN the business, to focusing on working ON the business. It was a relaxed bunch of like-minded designers that were open to being vulnerable and sharing their wisdom, strengths and weaknesses.

We were led by some incredible speakers that inspired and taught us how to value our worth and grow our businesses with clever strategies that are easily implemented. We had the opportunity to visit some INCREDIBLE homes and forged great friendships over champagne and delicious meals. There was plenty of time, walks on the beach & reflection.

The Retreat was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The knowledge and vulnerability shared by all the delegates, Andrew and Jillian and the industry guests that were invited was truly mind blowing. The information I absorbed during those 6 days were priceless; systems I will incorporate in my business from here on out...and I’m SO excited to implement them.

 

The friendships I have made, not only with Andrew and Jillian, but all the diverse and magnetic women I met, makes me feel grateful and full. I don’t know what I was nervous about.

 

If I knew I would leave this retreat with a bigger heart, a stronger mind and drive and a grounded soul, I would NEVER have hesitated to sign up.
