Ladies, Wine & Design

Ladies, Wine & Design
in Milwaukee

A conversation series for Milwaukee creatives

Ladies, Wine Design was started by Jessica Walsh after this happened and 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. If you're a female creative in Milwaukee and would like to join, please email us. It's free to join our events!
