Women’s Day
It’s International Women’s Day, and in celebration, we’re highlighting some of the women-founded brands we admire. It’s only fitting, seeing as women’s careers and brands are our two greatest passions.
Bumble
Whitney Wolfe Herd is the founder and CEO of Bumble — and the world's youngest self-made female billionaire. Her entire company is built to empower women, and it’s a business model that paid off big time. Whitney is proof that female entrepreneurs are a force to be reckoned with, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her and her company.
Oui the People
Karen Young founded OUI the People, a beauty brand that is adverses to perfecting, flawless, and anti-aging claims. Instead, OUI the People makes its customers feel confident in its own skin. Not only does Karen have a revolutionary view of beauty, but she also has a deep understanding of brand. In her own words, “Brands inform culture and language, as beauty has done for decades.” She’s our kind of person.
Red Antler
Emily Heyward co-founded Red Antler, the branding agency that this branding agency admires most. She’s bringing a women’s perspective to brands like Allbirds and Casper, she’s leading a future-thinking workspace, and she’s even finding time to write about it all. If you haven’t read her book Obsessed yet, please visit your local library today.
UNWRP
In 2017, Ashley L. Fouyolle founded UNWRP, a luxury gift wrap company, out of her Brooklyn bedroom. Ashley uses UNWRP to empower a diverse community of artists, and every UNWRP product is sustainably sourced. Ashley has built a successful ecommerce brand in under five years, and we love that design is at the center of it all.
Outdoor Voices
Tyler Haney founded Outdoor Voices, the now-famous active lifestyle brand, at just 25 years old. Tyler created a fashion-forward brand that encourages #DoingThings and generating endorphins. Her vision for Outdoor Voices is one of inclusivity and confidence, which is a good way to do things.
