Design Darlings: Women's SOLIDWORKS Collective

Connect · Empower · Elevate · Persist

Welcome to The Design Darlings, a SOLIDWORKS User Group created to empower and elevate individuals who identify with femininity in the traditionally male-dominated fields of engineering, manufacturing, and product design.

Our Focus:
Confidence-building through inclusive dialogue and peer support
Mentorship and networking across all career stages
Leadership development to expand and enrich the broader SOLIDWORKS community

We deeply respect the incredible value offered by existing user groups. The Design Darlings complements this ecosystem by addressing a specific gap: the need for a space where underrepresented professionals can thrive without hesitation.

By fostering a supportive environment for those who may feel overlooked or outnumbered, we strengthen the entire user group network. When diverse perspectives are empowered, the whole community benefits from richer collaboration, broader innovation, and more equitable growth.
