Jessica Walsh, a New York based designer, started Ladies, Wine & Design 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. By championing the fierce female creatives in our city we hope to build the female presence in the industry and grow the confidence of the ladies wanting to get into it. Check out what inspired her to get the ball rolling and other cities that have started this great initiative:

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 creatives we have admired, worked with, or had our eye on! Email us if you would like to nominate someone for this list.
