Enjoy this fabulous Give To Gain piece from graphic designer Lucy Llewellyn aka That Ginger Girl

Meaningful change often begins with the expression of creative voices that challenge perspectives, ignite dialogue, and encourage action. As such, International Women's Day provides a great moment for amplifying the creative work of women and their contribution to shaping a fairer world.

Each year the IWD Lettering Challenge, in association with the global Typism community, calls for creative designs that support an annual IWD focus and showcase the impressive talent of creators. The challenge aims to raise awareness, showcase talent, and provide visibility for creatives while supporting gender equality.  

Here, we shine a spotlight on one creative, Lucy Llewellyn, and showcase her fabulous IWD 2026 Give to Gain design. 

"Hosted by International Women's Day and Typism we mark International Women's Day and its theme for 2026 Give to Gain. I've been in a creative slump for quite some time so it felt good to pick up a pencil again," said Lucy.

Creating a bold, quirky and colorful style

Freelance graphic designer and lettering artist Lucy Llewellyn is based in Wales, UK, and works as That Ginger Girl. A Newport native, Lucy holds over a decade of professional and freelance experience in graphic Design, illustration and signage.

"Hand lettering and illustration are two passions of mine which I combine to create a bold, quirky and colorful design style. It is often centered around that clichéd motivational quote area, but I like to think that I bring something a bit different to it," explains Lucy.

Collaborating with clients on design projects

Lucy has had the pleasure of collaborating with clients on a variety of projects ranging from logo design and branding to bespoke lettering commissions for print, wearables, or simply stickers.

Spending time in nature and with loved ones

On the weekend, Lucy loves stepping out into nature and taking in all the sights Wales has to offer, or spending time with her fiancé and her cat Ripley.
