Did you know that an estimated 61%<\/a> of graphic designers in the U.S. are women? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And according to the U.S. Department of Education, more than 60%<\/a> of graduate graphic design degrees are earned by women. Considering how hard women have historically worked to break into the arts and design industry, these are inspiring statistics<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s less inspiring to know that, due to the impact of past barriers and the challenges women continue to face, they only hold less than 20% of leadership roles in the graphic design industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arts are often seen as one of the most progressive industries, with design playing a pivotal role in driving change. As I shared with Transform Magazine<\/em>, type is a powerful communicator of change<\/a>, and as designers, we carry that power<\/strong>, not just through type, but through all components of design \u2014 colors, symbols, composition, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From protest signs to posters and even product branding, design stands at the forefront of social movemen<\/strong>ts, amplifying calls for progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designers have long been catalysts for change, instigating immense shifts through our work. Yet, despite this forward momentum, the graphic design industry still has more ground to cover in terms of representation and equality in pay and seniority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, we\u2019re excited to take this time to celebrate how far we\u2019ve come and shine the light on some incredible women in the Kittl creator community producing powerful, beautiful, and innovative designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also thrilled to highlight some of our very own Kittl designers and creative leaders, who are leaving a lasting impact on Kittl with their creativity, innovation, and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n
