Empowering Myanmar Women: SheCreates

In the heart of Myanmar, there exists a women-centered organization that stands as a beacon of creativity, resilience, and talent - She Creates. This vibrant community brings together creative individuals, locally and internationally, to showcase and celebrate the craftsmanship of Myanmar women. With a focus on supporting locally made products and traditional handicrafts, She Creates is an organization that fosters growth, mutual support, and appreciation for women’s craft.

With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and a commitment to nature-conscious practice, the organization offers a diverse range of high-quality handmade items, including clothes and handicrafts. Each purchase benefits local communities and provides customers with a unique and meaningful experience.

On June 1st, 2023, Bridge was invited to take part in “She Creates Week 2023” and to conduct a brand workshop. Members of She Creates, women entrepreneurs from the craft industry, were given insight into use of brands to elevate their business. Bridge Art Director, Ma Yin, led the workshop and which taught members that brand goes beyond logos and into a customer’s entire  experience of the brand. Participants brainstormed ideas for the 'She Creates' brand, and shared their own personal brand stories. 

She creates is building a strong, nationwide network of creators. It envisions a future beyond Myanmar and sets out to be a central resource for women-led business, providing opportunity and maintaining the dignity of the creators it represents. As the organization evolves, it hopes to inspire women to embrace their talents, break down barriers, and shine on both the local and  global stage.

“I would also like to thank you wholeheartedly for your excellent work during the workshop at the She Creates week. I really think it was one of the highlights of the week.”
