About

 

Within is a collection of content and experiences for women in design and technology. We began with a leadership retreat in 2018, and we have grown since then through a magazine, events, regular retreats and ongoing support and connection amongst our community.

Within exists to do three things: challenge the status quo in design and technology, share practical wisdom for creating environments where all people thrive, and amplify stories of more diverse leaders

Within is part of the Design Dept. family.
