It starts with two friends from South-West Sydney.
Tracy Trieu and Wendy San are two Asian Australian friends who grew up in South-West Sydney. They currently work as creative professionals in the advertising & design industry. It started with conversations amongst themselves about the lack of diversity and representation in their industries. The stories they shared quickly became a recurring theme, which ultimately led to the birth of ‘A Seat at Our Table’.
BEHIND THE NAME
‘A Seat at Our Table’ is all about creating the space to share underrepresented stories, with the goal to educate, learn and drive change within our communities. The concept of having ‘a seat at the table’ refers to creating equal opportunity for anyone and everyone to speak up, share, define and influence decision making in a safe space. It is also an ode to our family dinner tables, where family and friends come together to nourish and connect.

Meet Wendy
Friends would describe Wendy as a creative, driven, type A individual with a love for escape rooms, homewares, travelling and a knack for injuring herself one too many times.
As a Senior Product Designer at Future Friendly, she loves crafting up beautiful yet meaningful digital UX/UI solutions that improve the lives of everyday humans. She’s currently exploring ways to incorporate diversity & inclusion into her design practice, hoping that this podcast can help her on this journey and allow her to share her musings with the world.
