At Ladies*, Wine** & Design Aberdeen, we're all about fostering connections and bridging the gap by creating a supportive space where creativity knows no bounds and women* in the creative industry can thrive. Often, our communities miss out on events hosted in neighbouring major cities. That's why we're dedicated to bringing those enriching experiences closer to our home. Whether you're a seasoned creative or a newcomer to the creative scene, you'll discover a welcoming environment to network, learn, and flourish.
Picture this: engaging events that spark inspiration, networking sessions that forge lasting bonds, skill-building workshops that ignite passion, and above all, a heartfelt celebration of the phenomenal women* shaping the creative landscape.
*Our space is inclusive of all women, non-binary, agender and gender non-conforming people.
**Alcohol is entirely optional; you can drink tea, coffee, or whatever you like!
Ladies, Wine & Design is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in 280 cities worldwide. LW&D was founded in 2015 by Jessica Walsh.
In the creative industry, women and non-binary individuals represent only a small fraction of creative directors—a statistic that Ladies*, Wine & Design is determined to change. Through initiatives such as mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, engaging talks, and creative meetups, we're dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where talent knows no gender.
