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 Providence was born.

Numbers show that there is a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. Here are a few women we have come to admire. If you'd like to nominate someone for this list, please email us.
