Design Notes

As 2024 comes to an end, find out how Team RD will be spending their Summer Break… 

Think beachside retreats, road trips & gelato!

" ... Every failure is a lesson ..."

" ... I feel so lucky to have come on board at such a pivotal time for the RD brand. I love the team, the products and the vibe...its all just coming together and I am so excited about what's next ..."

"...There’s a master plan at work – I’m just here for the ride..."

"...'Wear the outfit, you are the occasion'- it's tongue in cheek but a playful reminder to find joy and beauty everyday..."

"...It's no secret that I love what I do and work is a joy..."

"...Each day on the way to school, the kids and I talk about having love in our hearts, treating others, and yourself with kindness & empathy... 'Turn your wounds into wisdom' ... Learn from your mistakes..."

"...It’s such a privilege to work for an amazing brand that you align with, I truly love everything Rach creates!..."

In celebration of the launch of their inaugural beauty annual, RUSSH hosted Sydney's creatives for an evening of revelry (chip fountain included).

"... I believe that if you want something you can make it happen. Not magically but by doing everything in your power. I have never been a person who planned her future or had a five year plan, I just trust my gut and go. No excuses..."

"... I feel blessed to do what I love with people that I enjoy even more. The collaborative environment fosters creativity and innovation. It feels incredibly rewarding to contribute to our shared goals alongside such a talented and passionate team..."

"...I've always wanted to do some form of freelancing but was always tied to conventional views of what constitutes success -- working at a cool and high performing company, or impressive sounding job titles..."

"...I heard a great quote the other day that resonated with me. “If the door closes, find a window and climb through it” I am a strong believer in knowing there is always a solution, it is just about being open to look for another way..."

"...Be kinder and trust the process. Everything happens for a reason..."

"...Aim to find a path that motivates and excites. I’m so lucky that I wake up majority of days excited about what lays ahead. Being your own boss is also wonderful in helping juggle family and work life balance..."

"...I believe in the genius of mistakes. Although ideas are often personalized per project, sometimes when you work through them you realize they don’t belong. I trust that most ideas are born for a reason, and they may actually have been manifested for a future creation..."

"...Being a working mom has made me appreciate the time I have with my daughter even more. I make a conscious effort to be present when I'm around her. Her current age is beautiful in itself, as she notices the little things like bees on flowers and the birds. Sometimes, it's nice to slow down and appreciate the small moments, blocking out the negative and fostering good energy for the creative process.. "

A Moment in Place with Montarna Pitt  Physically, where are you right now? Are you at home, on holiday, in the office or elsewhere?   I’m at home in Paddington, Sydney, drinking a coffee in my kitchen. How does your current...

".. My mother uses a euphemism to describe friendship. "Friendships are like trees - Sometimes branches break off, some will bear fruit" It's always been a good reminder to make hard choices. If someone's morals don't align with your own - Get out the chainsaw! Hahaha.. "

"..I dream of weekends spent at home, getting lost in a book, working in the garden and cooking. During the week I run on such a tight schedule, finding creative refuge is as simple as having no plans and being as far away from my phone and laptop as possible! .."

 

".. I think creativity and creative practices have helped me get through some of my most challenging times. I often rely on craft practices as meditative practices to help me cope with stress. Things like knitting, sewing, and cross stitching are all activities that take me out of the “here and now” and fuel my creativity and keep me calm.."
