LW&D (Southampton)

Ladies*, Wine** & Design is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in over 285 cities worldwide. Welcome to the Southampton chapter! LW&D was founded in 2015 by Jessica Walsh after this happened. Only .1% of creative agencies are founded by women & non-binary people, and the numbers are even smaller for women/non-binary BIPOC. Our mission is to see more diversity in the creative industry, especially within leadership roles. LW&D takes an interdisciplinary approach to this work. We offer free mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks & creative meetups for underrepresented creatives. *Our space is inclusive of ALL creative professionals, students & enthusiasts. If you feel you could benefit from a space to share ideas & collaborate, you are welcome! **Alcohol is entirely optional; you can drink tea, coffee, or whatever you like!
