Ladies, Wine &
a bit of Design
San Diego
A conversation series
founded by Jessica Walsh
hosted by Lindsey Harris & Stacey Edelstein
A monthly event series with a small group of creative ladies. We’ll wine, dine, and have casual conversations and workshops on a wide variety of topics relating to creativity, business, and life. If you’re a female student or creative and would like to join, click here. Events are free and reservations are first come, first serve. If you'd like to host us in your space, share your craft, be a mentor, or lead a discussion, please do get in touch.
Jessica Walsh started LW&D 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?
Smashing Magazine: Gender Disparities in the Design Field
3% Conference: Video archive from their annual conference
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. We're starting a list of influential women who have had a positive impact on San Diego's creative community. Email me if you want to nominate someone for this list!
