Join us for an inspiring session featuring a special guest appearance by Chinloo Lama from SOLIDWORKS. This event is crafted to empower and elevate individuals who identify with femininity in the fields of engineering, manufacturing, and product design. As a true trailblazer in the industry, Chinloo will share her journey, insights, and the importance of authentic representation in traditionally male-dominated fields. This is a unique opportunity to connect with a community that thrives on inclusion and equity, where diverse voices are valued and celebrated. Whether you're just starting your career or are an experienced professional, this event promises to provide meaningful perspectives and actionable insights that you can apply in your work and personal growth.
**Be sure to RSVP and secure your spot for this unforgettable event. Let's come together to create, connect, and inspire each other for a brighter, more inclusive future in design. Be a part of this transformative conversation—your voice matters!

Founded and led by a team of women with varied lived experiences—including neurodivergent and neurotypical perspectives—the group is built on a shared commitment to inclusion, equity, and authentic representation. This diversity informs our mission to create spaces where all voices are valued and heard.

We deeply respect the incredible value offered by existing user groups. The Design Darlings complements this ecosystem by addressing a specific gap: the need for a space where underrepresented professionals can thrive without hesitation.

We focus on:

• Confidence-building through inclusive dialogue and peer support

• Mentorship and networking across all career stages

• Leadership development to expand and enrich the broader SOLIDWORKS community

This isn’t about exclusion—it’s about expansion. By fostering a supportive environment for those who may feel overlooked or outnumbered, we strengthen the entire user group network. When diverse perspectives are empowered, the whole community benefits from richer collaboration, broader innovation, and more equitable growth.
