Wildcard

A farewell post from all of us at WildCard. As you know we are a bunch of freelancers and agency owners who put this awesome event together in our spare time. We have now all gone back to our businesses. It's sad to disband but before we go we wanted to share what a memorable event we created together with the help of our wonderful sponsor Moo.

Moo’s sponsorship of our event was truly appreciated by the WildCard team and attendees alike! Saddle stitched notebooks were a really nice touch to our event swag. This was just one of the ways Moo helped us make this event an epic success! Thanks MOO HQ!

A big thank you to our speakers Chris Do, Jose Caballer, Aaron Pierson, Sarah Hyndman & Emma Sexton who shared their wealth of expert knowledge and encouraged us to turn this event from a dream into a reality.

A warm thanks to our affiliates who helped market the event as well as all the volunteers on the day who braved it in the snow.

And of course special thanks to all you lovely people who attended in such cold weather conditions. We hope the event had a massive impact on your businesses through the knowledge shared and the amazing networking experience!

What Design Chiefs At Uber, IBM, And Microsoft Care About In 2018–And Why Design leaders at Uber, Microsoft, Visa, IBM, Nordstrom, Hopelab, and ReachNow share their priorities for 2018–and how the role of design has shifted at their organizations.

Thanks to Raphy Mendoza one of our attendees for making this.

It good to see people internalise what they learned at the event into their own experiences.

I'm incredibly fortunate to come from a family of formidable women. As a child, I never felt disempowered on account of being a girl.

But, as I grew up - as a Filipino woman in a white country - my experiences created a different narrative.

At school, at the pub, at the supermarket, on TV, on YouTube - everyone I looked up to, didn't look like me. Nobody looked like me. Nobody sounded like me.

Because I have a weird accent and don't understand slang, I'm different - maybe I'm not as smart as everyone else.

Because I have brown skin and everyone tries to guess where I'm from, I'm different - maybe I'll never belong anywhere.

Because I'm a woman, people want to know when I'll have children - not when I'll launch my business. Maybe this world isn't for me.

I'm different, and growing up I didn't want to be. It was too hard to justify why I was different, why I existed, all the freaking time.

But when I look at the women in my family... they're different, and they know it. And they own it and they own their choices, and that's why they're powerful. Because they're different and nobody can take that away from them.

I'm a Filipino girl, and I chose to be a designer and business owner in a white world. I chose a less easy life in which... I'm different. And I'm bossing it.

In whatever avenue my choices take me, I want to be the Filipino girl that I didn't see represented in the media so that people growing up now as 'different' can say 'she looks like me - I can do what she's doing.'

Then, maybe they can look at someone else who doesn't look like them and say 'I don't look like them, I'm different. But I can boss it like they do anyway.'

More. More. More. Content that is.
