Ladies, Wine & Design

Ladies, Wine & Design
Bakersfield

A conversation series
started by Jessica Walsh
hosted by local female designers

A salon night held monthly limited to a small group of creative ladies. We’ll wine, dine, and have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business, and life. If you’re a female student or creative and would like to join, please do email us. It’s free and reservations are first come, first serve. You can also join our FACEBOOK group or follow along on INSTAGRAM !

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 that through mentorship and championing others' work. I couldn't agree more. Bakersfield ladies - let's meet up and prove her right! If you're asking why Ladies Wine & Design, Bakersfield? Believe it or not, Bakersfield has a burgeoning creative arts scene. So what better time to bring women in the creative field together and foster these relationships. I was inspired to start a Bakersfield chapter of LWD because I love their message and what they do. Our city plays on an international stage in several other industries - why should design be any different? LWD is an international organization, and Bakersfield now has representation in that group! Here are some articles that inspired me to start our LWDBako:

More Than A Gender

We're working on a list of creative women that we feel are admirable and inspirational. Please email ladieswinedesignbako@gmail.com if you would like to nominate someone, especially women in Bakersfield.
