Jessica Walsh started Ladies, Wine & Design in New York after considering why there are so few women creative directors. She believes we can change that through mentorship and championing others' work. Austin lady-designers - let's meet up and prove her right!

Read her original musings and other articles below:

Ad Age: What We Can Do About the Dearth of Female Creatives?
Fast co: Where are all the women Creative Directors?

Smashing Magazine: Gender Disparities in the Design Field

Numbers show that there's a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. However, the people we could be most inspired by most are other talented ladies. Let's build a list of women we have admired, worked with or had our eyes on! Email me if you want to nominate someone for this list, especially women in Austin.
