Greenhouse Mentorship

Mentors 2025

The Greenhouse Mentorship offers a unique opportunity to develop with the help of a mentor with many years of experience in the industry. The independent designers exhibiting in the Greenhouse will have the opportunity to submit an expression of interest to the mentor they would like to work with. The mentor then evaluates all applications and selects the mentee they feel they can help the most. Throughout the year, the mentor and mentee keep in regular contact and discuss topics and issues on which the mentee wishes to receive advice.

Designer Emma Marga Blanche was one of the mentors in our 2025 mentoring program.
