Colony Co-Working – Down Arrow

15 March 2021

For International Woman's Day we are spending a week celebrating some of the amazing women who make our community so great! We will be uploading profiles daily where they have shared their experiences as women in their fields of work and more. Today we want you to meet Agnese

International Women’s Day – Agnese

International Women’s Day is designed to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also serves as a reminder that Gender parity is not yet attained, and according to the IWD campaign, referring to the World Economic Forum, it will not be for almost a century. Equality should be a human right, and gender equality is only one of many campaigns being fought right now to achieve this.

Agnese is one of the many amazing women in our community who works in a male dominated industry. We spoke with her about her experiences in Graphic Design and UX!



Please summarise who you are and what you do.

H! My name is Agnese, I am a graphic designer and UX based in Manchester for 5 years. I work as a freelancer at the moment and I have 10 years experience in the industry. I am passionate about advertising, digital, human rights and English culture!

What does it meant to be a woman in your field?

The patriarchy is still very strong/present and working as a woman in any field may be frustrating sometimes. However the small communities are very united and working really hard in terms of gender equality. The cultures are slowly building substantial changes.

If you had the knowledge you have now, what would you say to your younger self?

Do not give up! Set personal and professional goals, follow what you love, be flexible but do not let people, habits, stereotypes affect you in any way.



We will be publishing more profiles everyday this week to celebrate IWD and our amazing female members. Make sure you check out our website and social media each day to read their incredible stories!
