Ladies, Wine & Design
Boulder

Connecting and empowering whilst sipping

A conversation series founded by Jessica Walsh
Hosted by Amy Hayes & Sarah Halle

Hey creative ladies of Boulder. Let’s coalesce monthly(ish) to wine, dine, and have casual yet fruitful conversations covering a bevy of topics — think creativity, business, and life. Whether you’re a college student or student of life, if you’re a creative, we wanna meet you. Our gatherings are intimate by design, so get in touch if you wanna hang.

Our first meet-up will be a conversation all about YOU. Who you are and what you want LW&D Boulder to be. Location: Rosetta Hall

Ladies*, Wine** & Design is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in over 285 cities worldwide. LW&D was founded in 2015 by Jessica Walsh after this happened. 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. LW&D takes an intersectional approach to this work. We offer free mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks & creative meetups for underrepresented creatives.

*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!

Who inspires us? In our own backyard and beyond, email us to nominate someone for this list.
