Using one's creative talent can help show solidarity, spark conversation, and support collective action in forging gender equality.

Every year, Typism partners with International Women’s Day to celebrate creativity, visibility, and community.

For 2026 Give To Gain campaign focus serves as a reminder that when we share our time, skills, and support, we strengthen everyone.

The IWD Lettering Challenge invites lettering artists to explore what generosity, collaboration, and collective growth look like through letterforms.

Here, we shine a spotlight on one a highly talented creative, Yanqiao Jiang, and showcase her IWD 2026 Give to Gain design.

Finding strength through support

Designer Yanqiao Jiang is a Doctor of Visual Arts, working at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia.

She has said that her IWD 2026 creative piece focuses on the idea of women strengthening one another through shared support.

Yanqiao is a branding designer with an interest in using design to explore ethnography, specifically in Chinese indigenous cultures.

Her previous Masters research focused on designing cultural iconography in China and her doctoral research has been exploring the symbolism that reflects the diversity of Chinese ethnic groups.

"In my current design practice, I am exploring ways of combining design with craft in a way that embodies the essential and diverse features of Chinese folk culture to an Australian audience," says Yanqiao.
