connected over design
and a desire to meet a

Amanda would be great
and we’d all get along
well.”
Hyatt’s intuition
proved true and the
three came together following
a small gathering
of about 30 people
for a potluck at Layson’s
house.
Afterwards, Amanda
suggested doing a
Christmas event, says
Hyatt.
“Patty wanted to do
another potluck, but I
said no, if we’re going
to do it, let’s do it right,”
says Hyatt.
And so, like a band of
mist superheroes, they
pooled their talents to
create the inaugural
event of e Mists
Supper Club.
e Mists rented out
the Wine & Roses event
venue on the square in
downtown Madison,
booked a classic string
duet, and went to work
prepping an elegant
event for 50 people.
“Amanda and I went
foraging and we created
a massive greenery installation
with the help
of a friend who does
weddings,” says Hyatt,
who also happens to
have a background in
graphic design, papermaking,
and advertising.
