Jessica Walsh started Ladies, Wine & Design in New York after doing a lot of thinking and reading on why there are so few women creative directors. She believes we can change that through mentorship and championing others’ work. We couldn’t agree more, and we also think it would be fun to meet other lady creatives, so we reached out to her and Ladies, Wine & Design Hong Kong was born.
About the Hosts:
Karis Cheng is an interior designer and art director born and bred in Hong Kong. Passionate in spatial design, (all sorts of) chairs and secretly a typography nerd, she believes strongly in the power of connecting creatives from different fields. When not designing, you will most likely find her sipping milk tea, doodling type and chasing after puppies on the weekend.
Katrina Yuen is a strategist, service designer and advocate for using empathy to help people and businesses build better things. Being Australian-born Chinese, she loves to explore how identity and culture shapes women’s relationships with power and leadership, and how design ethics can play a crucial role in shaping women’s futures. She is a lover of cats, k-pop, cold brew and singing karaoke until sunrise.
Cecylia Grendowicz is a creative brand strategist originally from London. With a background in modern languages and literature, she’s a strong believer in cultural insight, storytelling and above all, human empathy to change thinking and behaviours. Being a lady that worked in the wine industry before moving to a design agency, she feels right at home helping to run LW&D Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, some inspiring reads:
Numbers show that there’s a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. However, we find the people we’re inspired by most are often other talented ladies. Here are a few women in Hong Kong we have admired or worked with! Please do email us if you want to nominate someone for this list.
