Can designing for good truly make a difference? In the fashion industry, waste is a big problem and brands are continuously being challenged to be more conscious of their impact on the environment. Luckily, there are designers like Rio Cuervo of RIOtaso who are leveling up the eco-conscious fashion scene, one patch at a time. Right from the beginning, she decided that if she wanted to be in fashion, she had to find a way to make it more sustainable for her business.

Meanwhile, in the branding scene, Roxy Navarro and her team are designing the futures we deserve through Dapat Studio. She isn't afraid to tackle the difficult social issues that we face today and imagine new ways to do good.Both female founders talk about their processes, philosophies, and design journeys in this first episode of Why SHE Works.
