May Inspiration Juice

How do you get out of a creative rut? For some of us the answers are found within a self-help book, for some it's as simple as going for a walk to clear your head.

This month we'll celebrate our unique creative processes and share our tricks of the trade. We invite you to bring something that inspires you; be it a book, object, or person—and your favorite drink to sip on (we recommend wine, but hey, it's just in our name!).
Location TBD
Opening Soon

Ongoing Want to host an event or be a presenter? We'd love to hear from you!

Jessica Walsh started Ladies, Wine & Design in New York after doing a lot of thinking and reading on why there are so few women creative directors. She believes we can change current statistics through mentorship and championing others' work. We couldn't agree more. Here are some inspiring articles and links about women in the creative industry:

Design Census
The Dots: 150 Women Redefining the Creative Industries
Ad Age: What We Can Do About the Dearth of Female Creatives?
AIGA: Women Lead Initiative

We find the people we are inspired by most are often other talented ladies. Numbers show that there is a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. Here is a list of women in the Ann Arbor that area that we admire. Email us if you'd like to nominate someone for this list.
