I nominated myself as a Badass girl because I put all my energy on a daily basis to live from my passion, art and conceptual design, and influence through that in a positive way people living and social change! Because I am not afraid of going for it and believe in each and everyone powers to make change and make it gracefully but furmly.

Grace State - #badassgal - badass.gal — #539 **Grace State**

Not only is Grace a fantastic human being, but she's an even better photographer, designer and creative. I've watched her go from literally picking up a digital camera (with a WTF look on her face) to becoming hands down the best photographer I know. With a love affair for film and an innate creative spark, her work speaks for itself. Grace is the definition of a badass, and seriously deserves to be celebrated as one!

Gabriella Holmes - Badass.Gal - #Badassgal — #531 **Gabriella Holmes**

Badass gal? Gabs it is!

Gabs is a wonderful human, amazing copywriter, and kickass advertiser! An MA grad with a distinction in Advertising and Design, and a TBWA placement under her belt before moving to London’s big smoke where she's jumping into a Junior Creative placement at Wunderman Thompson.

Outside the ad world Gabs founded an award-winning startup that she branded from scratch, which went on to get investment from Santander mid pandemic. In her free time find her throwing clay on spinning wheels to fill her house with an unnecessary number of bowls, or at the tennis court hitting balls everywhere they’re not supposed to go.

Becky Holmes - Badass Gal — #504
**Becky Holmes**

Becky couldn’t wait until she’d graduated to begin her career in design, so she started it whilst she was at Uni. Setting up a small independent design practice called smokytoast with a friend during her placement year, she quickly gained a wide array of clients from the dating app Tinder, to a sustainability-conscious clothing company that sources materials from Italy. She never wants to focus on one part of design, and instead enjoys the entire process from concept creation to sourcing a supplier for window stickers. She likes to help any kind of business and prides herself on her ability to adapt to any industry be it food and drink start-ups or multi-national financial services.

More recently she has taken steps towards her dream of helping conserve nature, by beginning a degree in Wildlife Conservation. Alongside this degree she is passionate about keeping her design skills alive by working pro-bono for a selection of charities that need design help. Finally, she is also one of the founding Trustees of a grant-making charitable foundation set-up to fund worthwhile causes within Wildlife Conservation.

Robyn Walker - Badass Gal — #503
Robyn Walker

It is fate that brought Robyn into the world of design. When she was 17, her teacher took her to the side to tell her she shouldn’t study Psychology, she should instead use her incredible talent and undertake a degree in the design field. She then last minute changed her degree to Product Design, and spent 3 years acing both the mathematical and the artistic aspects of product design. During her placement year she worked in merchandising at L’Oreal and she was so successful that part way through her final year she was asked to work full-time as soon as she graduated.

Making the leap to London she worked in Visual Merchandising for a few years, until her artistic side got the better of her and she decided to quit and pursue a role where she could have more creative freedom and utilise her artistic skillset paired with her commercial mindset. She now works as the Senior Designer at Wunder2, where she manages her own Junior Designer and gets to lead the design of entire makeup ranges and re-brands. As well as this, in her spare time she enjoys painting and regularly receives commissions for anything from huge abstract canvases to small intricate drawings.
