Although we aim to celebrate women every day at Domino, this International Women’s Day seems like as good a reason as any to really draw attention to some fantastic women in the design business. From interior designers who transform homes every day to artists creating work that celebrates women to business owners prioritizing a unique and progressive approach in the workplace, there’s no shortage of badass women doing awesome things in the world—so naturally, creating this list was quite a process.

If you want to buy something absolutely stunning by an admirable lady or just want to get a little inspired, see ahead for Domino editors’ favorite picks for powerful, creative women entrepreneurs you should totally know about this Women’s Day.

Kenesha Sneed of Tactile Matter

“I first discovered artist Kenesha Sneed years ago because of her ceramics, and I have been obsessed with her work ever since. Whether it’s drawings, pottery, or even textiles, Sneed’s work has a very organic vibe, featuring soft lines and muted colors. She currently has a limited-edition print available from Of a Kind, and is selling a cotton bloom throw through her site Tactile Matter.

If you’re going to make one purchase on International Women’s Day, may I suggest her Women Print?”
