'Savvy Society' is an innovative girl's shoe company that was founded by Alexa Fleischman and Lauren Wallace. Through a series of workshops, the brand teaches young girls how to independently design their own shoes using computer design software.
Savvy Society's goal has been to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit among its participants and to have girls more involved in STEM subjects -- which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. As these fields are often dominated by men, the company works to increase employment equality among women by giving them the tools to excel from a young age.
Through the Savvy Society website, consumers can purchase the designs made by the girls, who are as young as 6-years-old. The brand invites girls to become its next designer by participating in its fun events and online tutorials.
