John Tabari
Co-Founder & Co-CEO
I live in Sydney near the bush with my family and our dog, Ginger. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me coaching my daughter’s soccer team, spending time in the garden or experimenting with new projects.
I love travelling back to Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England, where I was born and raised, whenever I get the chance.
About me
- BA (Hons) in Business & Finance, Durham University
- Master of Arts in International Business and Law, the University of Sydney
- I’m fascinated by permaculture and spend plenty of time experimenting in the garden (and learning from the things that don’t quite work!).
- I’ve worked in digital marketing since the early days of online advertising.
- I’m always looking for ways to combine creativity, community and connection, which is what inspired ClassBento.
Top weekend activity
Anything to do with the garden. These days I’m trying to understand permaculture and failing, but that’s all part of it.
Favourite craft
I love woodworking and calligraphy. One day I’d love to combine the two.
3 top tips to recharge and unwind
- Doing a class with loved ones, what else?!
- Swimming in ocean pools.
- Find the thing you love. For me, that’s coaching my daughter’s football team.
3 top tips for embracing creativity
- Try something new with people you care about. Creativity is even more rewarding when it’s shared.
- Be present.
- Journalling. Creativity thrives when you give it space.
