What would you ask the “Mothers of Design”?

If you could ask these trailblazing designers anything, what would you ask?

The numbers say it all: 61% of designers are women, but only 29% of creative director positions are held by women. This month’s global theme, Matriarchy, invites us to radically imagine a world in which women take the lead. To envision what this could look like for the field of design, we turn to the collective wisdom of the “Mothers of Design”: Paula Scher, Gail Anderson, and Rebecca Mendez. The conversation will be guided by no other than Debbie Millman, the queen of design and branding herself.

On June 25, this powerful lineup of designers will take the CMNYC virtual stage. They will reflect on what it was like to build a successful career in an industry dominated by men, boldly trailblaze a path for all the women who came after them, and imagine a world (re)designed by and for women. Debbie Millman invites YOU to guide the conversation: what questions would you ask the Mothers of Design? Submit them here.
