My favourite moment was frantically brainstorming on a gigantic piece of paper with sharpies in Brussels, overdosing on enthusiasm 🫶
Happy birthday to @saloneurope.bsky.social! I can't believe it's been 2 years.
My personal favourite moments being: the panel in Brussels with @kitdewaal.com, Philippe & Balsam our first incredible event @lettretage.de and that 1st Brussels weekend writing in the square with @kiklodge.bsky.social
