It’s time to come clean.

Because, despite what agency websites and shiny socials might suggest, every – yes, every – successful design career is littered with creative missteps, professional cock-ups, bad decisions, terrible clients and ugly work.

The Design Laundry is a showcase of stories, cherry picked from 100s of tales shared by creative professionals from around the world. True stories of their mistakes, mishaps, and downright disasters.

Baxter & Bailey founders Matt Baxter and Dom Bailey have diligently collected these stories and will be sharing the very best – or worst – of them at this year’s BDF. Why? Because they believe that our creative disasters and professional missteps tell us something valuable about ourselves, and that sharing makes us stronger. And they’ve got the evidence to prove it.

To hear the messy truth, join us in The Design Laundry.
