Others in attendance included: Brendan Guy (@mrbrendanguy), a senior associate at the same studio; Adam Khoury (@adamakhoury), who is involved in brand management and consulting in the home, lifestyle and retail space; and Georgie Robertson (@georgie_blaise_); Siew-Chin Foong (@chinniechin1627), and @ocross, all of whose online presence is unclear about where they work.
