isy

isy galey, x-nanny, kindergarten teacher, almost art teacher, glass blower and general girl friday, nurtured a dream for over a decade to open a top-notch, friendly and approachable gallery, a "one-stop shop" for all things hand-made in melbourne (and now interstate) and a retail space which took no commission on sales with a non-elitist approach.

she woke up one morning (after another nanny contract had ended, due to children growing up and going to school) and calculated that she had changed close to 25,000 nappies over the last 20 years, perhaps time to fulfill the dream! she drove down to centerlink, signed up and also picked up a flyer for the NEIS program.

upon completing the 7 week NEIS training, with a 50 page business plan in hand and well over 100 market research surveys, a grant was allocated and in.cube8r® was born on july 12, 2007. the response from melbourne artists, both established and emerging, has been fantastic. after only 7 weeks of being open, in.cube8r® was full and a waiting list had begun.
 
now, 2 years later we are franchising and dream about representing hand-made everywhere... AND we’ve been nominated for NEIS business of the year 2 years running!!
