The Quiet Ones | International Women’s Day

project background

My father recently asked me: “If you could travel back in time, where would you go?”


I mentioned it to my dear friend @stylemehappy and she brilliantly reflected: “Back to when we had a dozen kids because contraception was not an option? Or when we couldn’t vote? Or when epidural and period cups were not invented?...” Dad, I only want to travel to the future, where women’s safety, equal opportunities and representation is no longer a dream but a reality. Where men AND women support women.

This lettering design is a homage to all creative women who came before me; who didn’t find support nor representation in the industry but kept showing up and working in the dark. Thanks to those quiet ones, we are all here today, raising our female voice and fighting for women’s rights, gender pay gap, equality and inclusion.

This is a call out for men and women to champion women today, and every day.
If you are —like me— in a privileged position, break the silence and speak up for those ones who can’t. The bigger your audience, the bigger your responsibility; the bigger your privilege, the bigger your responsibility.

Happy International Women’s Day from a very proud multilingual, multicultural, independent female voice.
