Season finale with Verònica Fuerte from Hey on creative jobs, parenthood and how one affects the other and vice versa | Women at Work
Parenthood is a vast topic we’ve wanted to tackle for a long time; we just never knew how. Some women do not wish to discuss it because they don’t want to mix their work with their personal life. In contrast, others think those two spheres are indivisible, especially in creative industries where uncertainty and unstable work situations are more common. As we never quite figured out how to open this relevant subject with our guests, we thought it was logical to start the conversation in-house. Verònica Fuerte, founder of Hey, breaks many taboos on this pivotal issue linked to the experience of many women and people worldwide. Communication is power, and sharing is building for future designers who might wonder how to think about becoming a parent (or not) while working in the creative field.Listen to our last Season 5 episode on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Aw, feeling nostalgic already!

Isabelita Virtual, Creative Director, on how to master a unique voice in the digital landscape | Women at Work
Isabelita Virtual cracked the code of the digital world a long time ago; the key was always her endless curiosity. With her recognisable aesthetics and solid conceptual base, she has displayed her creativity with Apple, Tiffany & Co, Delpozo, Hermès, Versace, Sony, Vogue, Dior, Louis Vuitton Foundation, NASA and The Moscow Ballet, among many (many) others. No wonder she’s received the Webby Award Honoree for Best Social Content in Art & Culture on Instagram, like "the Internet's Highest Honour"; she has actually formed what we understand as the internet and social media themselves. This is an incredible guide on digital creativity.
