I’m back from summer camp! Oh, I mean Altitude Design Summit.
I could name all of the amazing people I got to meet and hang out with, but it would seem a little braggy because the summit was just that good. I mean, you saw the list of speakers, right? Add to that the awesome attendees and you have a list of my nearly all of my favorite design bloggers. The organizers behind Alt did an outstanding job, and I’m honored to have been included!
Photo of my panel (“How to Find the Best Design Sites”) by Janel Laban, Apartment Therapy. Left to right: Allison Czarnecki, me (Nicole Balch), Jamie Derringer, and Karey Mackin
The panels were fantastic. In addition to the Keynote events, we were able to choose between three tracks for each session: Design Theory, Form & Function, or Hands On. I loved listening to what some of my favorite bloggers and influential people had to say on each topic, but it was even more exciting to be able to chat with them personally. Best of all, I left feeling inspired and ready to make this little ol’ blog of mine the best it can be.
Now you’re wishing that you went, right? Don’t worry. It’s all going to happen again next year, and I can’t wait.

I loved meeting you, Nicole. I’m already looking forward to next year. What a blast it was!
John @ Young House Love
So glad you had a great time, Nicole! And so bummed we missed the train on this one (or at least missed it with too little time to make last minute Salt Lake City plans). Hopefully we’re a bit more alert next year. Maybe we’d be able to meet in person finally!

Just had to say that you look adorable in that photo, and it sounds like it was a great time. I also have to give a big thumbs up for your pink suitcase. I never have to wonder if it’s my bag that’s coming down the carousel since not too many others dare to rock the pink suitcase!
