Ladies, Wine & Design was started by world renown art director, Jessica Walsh as an initiative to foster women creativity. In less than a year, the movement has spread to chapters in over 120 cities! Walsh discovered that only a tiny percent of creative directors, worldwide, are women and founded LW&D to help change this through mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, and creative meetups. And now it's finally here in Colombo, Sri Lanka!
LW&D Colombo will host a salon night monthly, with each event being limited to a small group of creative women. We’ll have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business and just life in general.
If you’re a female student or creative, and would like to join our team or collaborate with us, please email us to lwdcolombo@gmail.com.
Do you constantly doubt your abilities? Does your confidence drop when you receive negative feedback? Does being creative have something to do with being confident?

Has the way we represent women in advertisements changed over time? Is it mostly positive or negative?
Does it conform to some of the traditional notions of women and their role in society or have we as a nation moved past that?

The event consists of a series of talks with leading figures in the advertising industry followed by a discussion. We want your voices heard too!
