Announcing our Partnership with Wunderdogs

Behind WILD – a powerful brand that empowers women

The Women in Leadership + Design (WILD) initiative is celebrating its first anniversary and the next phase is an important one. In order to continue the momentum, we wanted to create an online resource for women and non-binary persons to reference, connect and stay up to date on WILD activities and events. In order to achieve this, it was important to collaborate with a design team who shared our values and is aligned with our mission. When we were approached by Wunderdogs, a female-led branding agency based in San Francisco, we knew we the partnership was a great example of women supporting women and helping each other achieve goals.

“With Wunderdogs’ experience in creative branding and digital marketing, we were delighted to be invited to partner with AIGA San Francisco in the creation of a full and compatible digital presence for the WILD brand.” - Daria, co-founder, Wunderdogs

The most important goal for WILD is to bring together exceptional women and non-binary persons and to create a sense of community where women can support other women on their professional journey.

“Historically the AIGA SF community has had strong female representation and we continue to strive to be a resource to women in design and non-binary individuals on the path to leadership or those who are already succeeding in the role.” says Dawn Zidonis, Executive Director of AIGA SF.

“While we know this will be an ongoing effort and we are only just beginning, we are calling on the community to be a part of the process by sharing success stories, challenges faced, tuning us in to resources available to add to the website, offer to speak or lead a program or volunteer on a committee. Together we can come together as a community...”

With the launch of the website designed and developed by Wunderdogs, we hope to spend the next year gathering valuable resources for the community, to offer programming that is helpful to women in succeeding in their goals, and to create content that keeps the community connected.
