#11 Making Video
ONLINE: Valerie Siba tells stories in pictures instead with words. She makes video content, develops content for TV and corporate clients. We are excited to welcome her to heat more on her work and her journey to realise that it takes a lot more than the aesthetics, but a psychological approach to understand what works well in the media.

#06 Social Media: What's your story?"
Lead by our two newest hosts Alessia and Lilly we want to explore how the LW&D community uses social Media. How do you find a balance between creating and sharing? Is it important to be not just a creative but an influencer in your field? What does being a creative influencer mean and are we showing ourselves off enough... or are we a selfie short?

Ladies, Wine Design was started by Jessica Walsh when she realized that sometimes women can be competitive or unsupportive of one another. Only a small percent of creative directors are women, and LW&D wants to help change this through mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks, and creative meet-ups. In less than two years of launching, we've spread to chapters in over 250 cities all over the world.
Have a look at the global page here.
Our chapter here in Düsseldorf was started by Ana Luiza Cavalcanti. A fabulous designer and calligrapher, now living in The Hague you can keep up to date with her adventures here
Get Reading! Information is power, below are some resources we love:
The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women - Naomi Wolf
Men Explain Things To Me - Rebecca Solnit
Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions - Gloria Steinem
The Gifts of Imperfection - Brene Brown
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear - Elizabeth Gilbert
Numbers show that there’s a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. However, we find the people we are inspired by most are often other talented ladies. We are always interested in discovering new local connections so please reach out if you think there is someone we should meet!
Below is a list of some of the talented women of our past events! Check out their work and be INSPIRED.
