My Story
I’ve always believed that creativity thrives in connection. As an interior designer and founder of AB Design & Interiors, I’ve spent years collaborating with clients and fellow creatives, loving the energy, ideas, and inspiration that come from working together. But over time, I noticed something missing: a space for designers, stylists, and creatives to connect beyond the project brief, beyond the client meeting - a space to simply share, learn, and be inspired by one another.
That’s how Truffles & Ruffles was born. What started as casual lunches around my kitchen table has grown into a vibrant community where creative professionals - from interior designers and artists to photographers, journalists, and makers - gather to connect, collaborate, and spark new ideas. Every event, whether an intimate lunch, hands-on workshop, or behind-the-scenes studio visit, is designed to nurture meaningful conversation, ignite creativity, and help people build relationships that last.
At its core, Truffles & Ruffles is about more than networking - it’s about connection. I create spaces that feel like home, where creatives leave inspired, supported, and part of something bigger than themselves.
My mission
At Truffles & Ruffles, we believe that the most meaningful creative work begins with genuine human connection. Our mission is to reshape what networking feels like by creating spaces where like-minded creatives can gather, share ideas, and collaborate in an environment that is warm, welcoming, and inspiring.
We’re here to take people beyond the screen - away from digital noise and back into real conversations that spark possibility. Every event is intentionally designed to encourage creativity, nurture collaboration, and offer a relaxed, enjoyable space where people leave feeling energised, supported, and truly seen.
Our community brings together artists, designers, stylists, and creative minds of every kind. It’s a place where professional opportunities grow naturally, and lasting friendships form without effort. At the heart of every Truffles & Ruffles gathering is a simple belief: creativity flourishes when people connect in person - and the best ideas begin when we sit down together.
And this is only the beginning.
