About this Event
DesignHer is a unique peer-powered network to support people from underrepresented backgrounds to access opportunities within the creative industries. The network was founded by Buttercrumble, a female-led design studio, who are reimagining traditional business networks by placing belonging and lived experience at its core.
The network welcomes West Yorkshire women (inclusive of trans and non-binary people) who face barriers due to class, race, disability, gender identity or caring responsibilities, to join a series of get-togethers. The sessions combine guest mentoring and peer-to-peer exchange. Plus – between events – members can access an online hub of resources to stay connected and inspired.
DesignHer is currently touring West Yorkshire with events hosted in accessible and welcoming spaces across the region.

- Seize the opportunity to shape this unique community.

Each session is:
☕️ Relaxed and welcoming: Think coffee club vibes, not corporate networking.
💡 Practical and inspiring: Featuring workshops, peer discussions, and guest mentors.
🫶 Family-friendly: No late nights or alcohol-centred networking, just food, ideas, and connection.
