Website Redesign Advisor (UI/UX Expertise)

Introduction

WIA is undergoing a significant transformation as we embark on a rebranding journey. We

are excited to unveil our brand within the next year, which will better reflect our mission,

values, and vision for the future, especially our commitment to gender equity in animation,

visual effects, and gaming worldwide.

About WIA

WIA was founded in 1993 by a group of pioneering women in animation to foster the dignity

and advancement of women working in animation. Their dedication to the empowerment

and advocacy for women within the industry has seen WIA evolve into the foremost gender

identity-based advocacy organization in animation, championing equity for people of

underrepresented gender identities (inclusive of cis and trans women and nonbinary

people). Today, WIA touts a robust membership of more than 14,000 diverse creatives from

around the globe in the animation, visual effects, and gaming fields. More information about

WIA and its programs can be found at www.womeninanimation.org.
