Very honored to be joining the Stanford Women in Design (SWID) advisory board. Excited to be able to mentor so many women as they start and build their careers in design.
Stanford Women in Design is the largest organization at Stanford focused on empowering future design leaders.
Their mission: build the creative confidence of kick-ass female designers
They are a Stanford University organization dedicated to equipping women in the community with the tangible skills needed to navigate design industries and beyond.
All members of the Stanford community are welcome to participate in and become members of Stanford Women in Design.
Why they were founded?
SWID was formed due to a gap in current mentorship opportunities at Stanford, and to address the challenges facing women in design. They aim to empower women through inspiring and catalyzing skill-development, career-mapping, and learning through the self-pursuit of innovative new projects, beyond the classroom experience.
MENTORSHIP
They build community between women in industry + students.
Through our internal and external mentorship programs, SWID provides students with resources and insight into professional opportunities within the design industry. Their mentors span across various fields of design, fintech, VC, beauty, social impact, and more.
