Katie Mullen and Jordan Pintar, owners of BlackPaint Studios, want to flip the power structure in the ad and design industry. With just 11% of women and 3% of people of color in creative leadership, they’ve made it their studio’s covert mission to increase those numbers. They get real and raw about their own experiences and offer advice on how to stay sane and succeed. The goal isn’t to discourage, it’s to help others avoid pitfalls and take ownership of, even get excited about, creating the change the industry so seriously needs.
Come to learn about:
+ The role of creatives in change-making
+ How diversity spurs ground-breaking work
+ Confronting sexual harassment and discrimination
