Women In Design: Milwaukee

Time to celebrate another round of successful Lightning Talks!

We had a great evening filled with laughter and learning at Freight38 in Bayview. The theme, Milestone Moments, led to stories of success, failure, and most importantly - growth. There was something for everyone to relate to when listening to this multigenerational cohort of women outline their milestone moments.

We are grateful to our presenters for lending us their time and sharing their experiences:

Kelly Jo McClanathan of Ring and DuChateau
Melissa Wolter of HGA
Andrea Hubbert of Hub+company
Katie Redel an Experience Designer in Milwaukee
Diana Billstrom of the Wisconsin Latino Chamber of Commerce
Adrienne Hunter of Servant Manor
Lauren Bauman of Women in Design Students
Carrie Matteson of the Woman's Club of Wisconsin

A big thank you to our sponsor, Ring & DuChateau, our generous host, .38, and our co-host, the Women's Fund of Greater Milwaukee.

We hope to see you at our FINAL EVENT OF THE SEASON - The Art of Vitality: Designing a Life with more Life In It.
Join us next week, Thursday, May 7th, from 5:30-7:30 at GRAEF.

Wrapped in Care: Silk Scarf Maker Event
Dye a scarf, share the love. 🎨💛

WID is excited to invite our members to a special Give Back opportunity!

Join us at Lombardi Brewing Company for a hands-on silk scarf dyeing workshop led by local textile artist Sandi Keiser. Inspired by the late Racine artist Maryruth Chorbajian, all scarves created at the event will be donated to a Racine women’s shelter—continuing her legacy of giving healing art to women rebuilding their lives.

These beautiful scarves will deliver warmth and love from our WID community to theirs.
