Founders

DesignMyNight was founded by Nick Telson and Andrew Webster whilst visiting New York City. The nightlife knowledge of their hotel concierge inspired them to create the service. They both quit their jobs at L’Oréal and Accenture and worked solely on DesignMyNight, with no income for two years, before the business took off in 2013.
In 2017, DesignMyNight was acquired by The Access Group.
