AIGA NY presents an open conversation with creative leaders, freelancers, and founders on how motherhood is reshaping the creative industry.
The visual design field thrives on bold ideas, fast-paced deadlines, and the pressure to give it your all. But what happens when we refuse to choose between career and family?
Too many talented women step away from the industry after becoming mothers—not by choice, but because the system isn’t built to support them. It’s time for an honest dialogue about the realities of balancing motherhood and a creative career.
We hope to inspire future mothers, working mothers, and industry leaders to rethink how creativity and caregiving can coexist. This is a conversation that’s long overdue. Opportunities and great design shouldn’t pause simply because we choose to dedicate time to what truly matters: the well-being of the next generation of creatives.
Join moderators Lucie Kim and Carrie Ingoglia in conversation with Ariba Jahan, YuJune Park, and Ida Woldemichael as they explore the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the ways mothers are carving out new paths—creating a more inclusive, sustainable future for all. Whether you’re a mother, planning for the future, or an ally, this conversation is for you.
