Studio Other is made up of a diverse group of creatives, makers and builders who value the art of craftmanship both within and beyond their job description. In the time spent outside of the office, you’ll find many of our people working on their artistic endeavors, crafting primarily with their hands and using various mediums. In what feels like a lifetime ago, our team was working on Studio Other projects in a similar manner, drawing up sketches on pen and paper and presenting every idea and revision in person. While there’s certainly a level of nostalgic appeal in using analog methods, the bottom line is that they allowed for slow turnaround, inefficient manufacturing and room for error.

This past September, Studio Other proudly hosted an event at the San FranciscoLinkedIn offices called “Equity in Design.” This is a part of a larger event series that aims to bring people together to discuss the current state of equity in architecture and design, as well as other industries. Several prominent speakers joined the panel in San Francisco. They shared their views on some of the most interesting, overarching topics affecting modern design careers – especially the opportunities and support provided to women. We’d like to share some of those topics and ignite the continuation of powerful, women-led conversations. Things are changing, but it’s crucial that we all play a part in discussing the challenges and evolutions of equality in these fields.
