RARE STUDIOS
Sophia-Carlotta Parisel
Although the Creative Industry is one of the most inclusive industries, an AIGA survey shows that still 73% of designers are white and only 11% of Creative Directors are female. In response to this, Sophia-Carlotta Parisel aims to provide a platform for marginalized communities and build bridges and connections with creative and advertising agencies through the formation of RARE STUDIOS.
The concept is built on the understanding that good design can only be achieved by having a variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills, which is summarised in the studio’s main principles 'Connect, Create and Shape'. The creative studio and mediation agency RARE STUDOIS provides education and connectivity – not only through workshops and events, but also through consultation, collaboration, and production with advertising agencies.
