Ladies, Wine & Design is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in 280 cities worldwide. LW&D was founded in 2015 by Jessica Walsh. Only .1% of creative agencies are founded by women & non-binary people, and the numbers are even smaller for women/non-binary BIPOC. Our mission is to see more diversity in the creative industry, especially within leadership roles.
Our space is inclusive of all women, non-binary, agender and gender non-conforming people. Self-definition is at the sole discretion of that individual. If you feel you could benefit from a space meant for people who do not identify as cis men to share ideas and collaborate, you are welcome.
Alcohol is entirely optional; you can drink tea, coffee, or whatever you like! Our aim is to inspire, engage and exchange ideas as well as experiences. We aim to host bi-monthly meetings that star guest speakers and instigate creative communication.
We welcome you to our very first chapter this November to start an essential conversation about role of Design in Activism. Registrations for this event will open shortly.

We are excited to launch our first chapter of Ladies, Wine & Design in Basel this November! We want to unfold the conversation on design as activism. Listed below are some of the resources that have fueled our thoughts and provided us with rich insights to back our practice.
