a list of 8 kickass female creatives i admire

Since it is international women's day today I want to dedicate this post to 8 female creatives that are inspiring to me. Also, I figured those "inspiring creatives" posts are the ones, that get read and shared a lot! So here are 8 ladies from all sorts of creative fields that rock - I think! enjoy the read. GIRL POWER UNITE! Happy woman's day 2018!

1. VERONICA DITTING
http://studioveronicaditting.com/
Veronica is the Creative Director of the magazine THE GENTLEWOMAN. She works at the intersection of editorial design and branding, creating many of the award-winning fashion magazines, art books, campaigns and graphic identities. I simply love her design approach and her ability to capture beauty in a very minimalistic way.

2. LAUREN MACHEN
https://laurenmachen.com
Lauren is a tremendous set designer who has created sets for fashion, music, and advertising. Over the past year, Lauren has expanded her set design practice to include building immersive environments and creative direction. I love her work for the musician St. Vincent - very bold, very colorful, very strong.

3. ELISE
http://e-l-i-s-e.com/
Elise is a sculptor and an artist. Her sculptures are a giddying mix of surface, mass, and volume, situated precariously on the verge of physical impossibility. Pushing materials to the edge of realism, her work just makes me smile.

4. GEM FLETCHER
http://gemfletcher.com/
Gem is the Photo Director of Riposte Magazine. Not only that she collaborates with photographers on commercial, editorial and personal projects. She has this amazing ey to discover young and emerging photographic talent.

5. CLARA VON ZZWEIGBERGK
http://www.claravonzweigbergk.se/
Clara is a formally trained graphic designer that transferred to industrial design over the years. With her clear visual approach, she has worked on stuff for HAY and Nike and she keeps surprising me with the multidisciplinary approach to her design thinking and range of work she does.

6. STEFANIE MOSHAMMER
http://www.stefaniemoshammer.com/
Stefanie is an Austrian Photographer. On the intersection between documentary photography and poetry, she captures moments and people like nobody else I know. by her exploration of the world, you start to see things differently.

7. ALMA HAREL
http://almaharel.com/
Alma is a Film Director. Her narrative work plunges deep into the heart of imagination and creates surreal, dream-like poetic interpretations of life. The music video she did for sigur ros is just incredible. I love that she has such a strong voice in a very male-dominated creative segment.

8. MISAKI KAWAI
http://misakikawai.com/
Misaki is a Japanese artist. I love her because of her naive approach towards art. She does not seem to take the art world too serious and she seems to have put her focus on constantly producing new shit. Kawai creates installations out of paper-mâché, wood, fabric, and other low-tech, "crafty" materials. It is just fun to watch her work and her documenting it on Instagram where you also can see her adorable child taking part in pretty much everything.
