Pilar Rubio - Badass.Gal - #BadassGal — **#551 Pilar Rubio**

I am 22 y/o, born and bred in Spain, and have lived in the UK for about seven years. I am a creative producer with experience in PR, marketing, social media, brand identity development, illustration; sales and design. Motivated and passionate digital content creator and fashion designer. I graduated from London College of Fashion, UAL, for BA Creative Direction for Fashion. I own WOLFFTHELABEL, a bespoke, sustainable, made to order clothing brand that aims to empower and lift women of all sorts, to represent and communicate what truly means to be fierce, bold and beautiful. Although the brand has a strong feminist ethos, we cater men too.
I initially created WOLFFTHELABEL because I wanted to tell a story, I wanted to create a community of fierce young people; create my own pack, a #wolffpack. I want to build a brand, a platform, a safe place; for young people all around the world, to relate, feel welcomed, feel represented; to embrace beauty in their own way. To provide that feeling of belonging. My focus is on making women and men feel fierce, bold and sexy. To encourage them to be and do better for themselves. WOLFFTHELABEL aims to provide sustainable products, packaging and bold creativity. I am glad to share that I will be launching a new collection very soon and I look forward to growing my #wolffpack.
I truly believe that if you stay resilient and stay hungry for success, anyone, anywhere; can achieve what they set their minds to do.

**Greta Beccarello**

Greta is AMAZING. And that's putting it simply. She was my project manager for two years and I was lucky to have her - she never quite stopped at being a PM, she was an amazing creative who was always up for a good brainstorm, and pushing any creative content out of our studio with more strategy and thought than ever asked for. She's branched out to do her her own thing and is knocking it out the park with her own personal clients offering brand strategy, content creation and digital strategy. I have never met someone so fiercely passionate about what they do, and helping others!

Aarti Thamma is an art direction student at Miami Ad School, San Francisco. Aarti & I have known each other for nearly 8 years, there hasn’t come a time where we don’t sit and talk about new ideas. That’s the passion she has for constantly creating creative meaningful work. For example, we had the opportunity to start a firm that helped small business with marketing solutions. It was a great learning experience for the both of us.
Now she strives to push her creative boundaries. Inspite of having an MBA in marketing, she wanted to learn the crux of strategy and design which is why her passion led her to an Art Direction portfolio program in San Francisco.

My name is Beth, I'm an illustrator and designer; working and drawing in East London. My work is heavily inspired by everyday life, little moments of joy found day to day which create a sense of wholesomeness, whether it be inspiring home spaces or little slices of nature.
For as long as I remember, I loved the idea of sharing my illustrated visions with an audience, decorating their homes and bringing colourful, illustrated paper goods into their day-to-day. I received a degree in Graphic Design, specialising in illustration in 2019 and since have worked in industry for brands creating a range of products. My love of illustrating has always been first and foremost and I hope to spread joy, one illustrated piece at a time.

Hazel is my best friend of 20 years! She’s got a creative fire that burns in every colour! One of the most hard working dedicated people I know, who is always there and never lets you down. Corona stopped her up and coming job and back up job (yes she’s very organised). She’s currently working in a secondary school full time (she’s got hella patience) AND managed to get a temporary design associate role she does after school hours for Coventry City of Culture Trust (energy for days) AND she keeps up her side hustle (like how?). Honestly I’m writing this because it annoys me someone so great is a risk of slipping through the cracks as the current climate see’s limited job opportunities and internships that are only 3 months long (not long enough when you have keep finding limited internships to pay rent). She wants to go into experience design and I’m hoping this might give her the boost of exposure. She’s a creative meets art director meets costume designer meets experience designer meets your hyper 80s mum. This gal is badass.

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!

Not content with being an award winning creative, Joyce is the president of SheSays in her 'spare' time, knocking out provocative campaigns over weekends and evenings that have genuinely changed lives.

This powerhouse set up the ArtSeeksCopy/CopySeeksArt facebook group whilst still a student (!) and this is a source I still, years later, recommend in book crits to any creative looking for a partner. The queen of organising mass book crits, setting up educational talks, and quietly pressuring agencies to take on more placement teams, if you've broken into the industry in recent years (or you've simply been to a SheSays event) you have almost certainly benefitted from Joyce's unwavering efforts to support the next generation of advertisers (even if you don't know it). She is a pleasure to work with, and is a genuine champion of badass gals everywhere - and that makes her badass as hell.

She also helped raise thousands of dollars for abused and neglected kids by spearheading the 'One Less Present' campaign, asking people to forgo one Christmas present, and donate the money to charity.

Her cheery attitude, commitment to giving back, and ability to lift others around her makes Anais a straight-up badass.
