The W project

The W project showcases women working across the creative industries. They aim to promote empowering role-models and help build a better creative community for the future. They asked me to create an illustration for Words of Wisdom exhibition opening on International Women's Day (this thursday) at KK Outlet. If you are in London come down on Thursday evening.
