THE JOURNEY
In the tapestry of our company's narrative, we are not merely individuals bound by a common drive to empower women; we are architects of innovation and designers of change. Our genesis lies in the restless spirit of Christine Woodward, a luminary whose journey through the realms of the design industry was adorned with laurels of triumph and equally veiled in the shadows of failure.
From the embers of discontent, Christine envisioned a landscape untouched by the limitations of conventional paths—an oasis where meaningful transformation thrived, unencumbered by the chains of perpetual dependency. She dared to challenge the status quo, believing fervently that the true measure of success lay not in the perpetuation of service but in the empowerment of autonomy.
So, with hearts ablaze with purpose, we embarked upon a quest of monumental proportions—a mission to forge a better alternative to live a passionate life while empowering others, where the ethos of collaboration eclipsed the cult of individuality. It was a pursuit of such grandiosity that it bordered on the absurd, yet in our collective conviction, we found solace and strength.
The fruits of our labor bear testament to the audacity of our dreams—a radical model that transcends the confines of tradition, designing transformative outcomes and nurturing a culture where innovation flourishes. In the default of the status quo, we continue to design a landscape of resilience, of passion, and of the unwavering belief that in unity, we find our truest triumphs.

Behind The Name
Our name is our mission - to remind the world that it was the 19th amendment that solidified the efforts of the amazing women who fought for women’s rights. Those brave women led us to a victory of the 19th amendment that has paved the path we now proudly and appreciatively walk. Along with the right to vote, this path has led women to opportunities that have amplified our voices and our courage to stake a claim in our own ventures.
Continuing what they started
to give women a voice by banding together.
