Your passage through Sagmeister & Walsh

Despite his young age, Walsh is already an icon of the world of design, especially after he rejected a significant sum of money from Apple when he was in the early stages of his career.

During the time he was in charge of the agency along with Stefan Sagmeister, he worked with brands that included Barneys, BMW and Snapchat. In addition, she also gained popularity thanks to projects such as “40 days of dating” where she and one of her friends had appointments for 40 days as an experiment.

Your new company will basically take the place of the previous one. That’s right, Sagmeister & Walsh will no longer accept client projects, now it will focus on supporting artistic collaborations between Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh. Last year, for example, both worked together in a multimedia exhibition that had beauty as its central theme, which was shown at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Some customers and employees of the diluted Sagmeister & Walsh will become part of the new & Walsh.

Being a woman in the creative world

Jessica Walsh recently said that from a young age she had dreamed of having her own design agency. For that reason, during his teens he started an HTML website where he helped other designers to program and design their own websites.

With this step, Walsh became one of the few women in the industry who have a solo agency. This, according to “Where Are The Boss Ladies” a list of women who work in the industry in different roles.

Due to her concern for her role as a woman in 2016 she started “Ladies Wine and Design” a non-profit foundation with headquarters in hundreds of cities around the world that is responsible for empowering women and creatives through tutorials, advice for their portfolios, talks and creative meetings.

With his new agency, he said that these initiatives will continue to be a fundamental part of his daily work. So that all people can access the positions they dream about. It is also the environment you want to implement within your agency.

While she makes this new transition her agency already has some clients at the door such as Beats by Dre, Kenzo and Apple. Walsh specified that the agency also focuses on brand development and its strategy, particularly for start-up companies.
