Melbourne-based Justine established Thankyou alongside a group of co-founders that includes her husband, Daniel. Six years on, she continues to drive the vision to see Thankyou become a household name with the goal to help millions of people in need through sales of Thankyou’s range of bottled water, food and bodycare products. The company has also just launched a groundbreaking crowdfunding campaign to fund the launch of Thankyou Baby and Thankyou New Zealand. Justine is passionate about a lot of things, but in particular she has a passion for people and business as Thankyou’s Director of Brand & People. In her role, Justine oversees the Marketing, Creative and Communications & HR Teams. And she balances all this with being a mother to the couple’s adorable young son, Jed.
Hailey is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker who lives on the Gold Coast and creates work that is inspiring and colourful. Her husband Andrew is an architectural photographer and designer and, along with their two daughters, they travel the world with their brand You Can’t Be Serious in search of the work they love to do – making films that matter and shooting photography that you’ll never forget. Hailey also created the 365 Grateful photographic project to encourage herself and others to appreciate the little things in life, improving her mindset and relationships with others in the process.
Byron Bay-based Shannon is the founder and co-owner of sustainable homewares and lifestyle brand The Dharma Door. Since 2004 she has worked with Fair Trade artisans in India, Vietnam and Bangladesh to create sustainable trading relationships by developing a contemporary range of high-quality homewares and lifestyle accessories, including beautiful baskets, wall hangings and throws. The Dharma Door also creates the online Slo-fi Magazine honouring ethical, handmade, slow and lo-fi production.
