Design

A salon night held monthly for creative ladies. We’ll wine, dine, and have casual conversations on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business, and life. All venues are either owned/operated by women or support women in leadership.

Additionally, please get in touch if you'd like to host us in your space, teach a workshop, or be a guest speaker.

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. Here are some articles that inspired us if you want to learn more:

Ad Age: What We Can Do About the Dearth of Female Creatives?
Fast co: Where Are All The Women Creative Directors?
3% Conference: Video archive from their annual conference
Smashing Magazine: Gender Disparities in the Design Field

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 right here in our city. We're compiling a list of inspirational creatives in PDX. Know one? Tell us.
