Global Women’s Summit 2025
The Global Women’s Summit is The Washington Post Live’s flagship annual event, convening influential women across politics, business, culture, and technology for high-impact conversations about leadership and the future.
The summit reaches both in-room and global audiences, with hundreds of senior-level attendees on site, tens of thousands of virtual registrants, and millions of views and marketing impressions across platforms.
For the 2025 summit, I served as design lead—co-creating the visual identity with a small team and independently owning the motion design system. Partnering closely with cross-functional and video teams, I delivered a cohesive, scalable brand experience across the full event lifecycle.

Visual Identity
Centered around light and the motif of a horizon—being on the precipice of a new day, the design of the event evoked themes of hope, transformation, of a light leading the way forward into an undefined and yet-to-be-seized future.
With The Washington Post brand changing amid its modern era of news reinvention, we have been signaling this shift through a series of visual expression: minimalist but impactful typography, reserved use of design graphics, and dynamic visuals. We brought this transformation to life at the Global Women’s Summit by scaling the thematic crux of the design to apply to physical light fixtures, textiles, and installations within the space.
In creating and achieving continuity across digital and physical spaces, we launched our audiences into an immersive experience of untethered magic, dreaminess, prestige, and inspiration.
