Worth Making 03: Mary Ping

STRUKTUR IS...... the only peer to peer creative community that clears safe spaces to radically share ideas for forward thinking creators in art, music and design.We believe in elevating, supporting, nurturing and connecting the people who are creating the things that don’t yet exist in the world. We’ve made buildings. We’ve made hiking boots. We’ve made typefaces. We’ve made deathrock albums. We are a community with a passion for growth, curiosity, and creativity.We believe in the generosity of knowledge and the power of culture collisions and collaboration. We are the free-thinkers, the innovators, the communicators and the makers. Together we hunt for problems to solve, we say the things that need to be said and we change what is broken in the world. We are a the creators — artists, musicians and designers — who believe that creativity shared is momentum gained for all. We trash conventions by colliding our experiences, inspirations and processes to unleash new approaches to creativity, innovation and progress.We are Struktur.

Worth Making is a monthly live conversation series (recorded as a podcast) about the architecture of a creative life... the invisible scaffolding that helps you stay true to your work and support yourself in a shifting economy.Hosted by Karuna Scheinfeld, Allison Ross, and Struktur Society founder Michelle Rose, each gathering is candid, specific, and human: a blueprint-meets-backstage-diary conversation about what’s usually offstage... money, time, boundaries, support, identity, and the tradeoffs that shape the version of “success” people see from the outside.This is about building a life with creative meaning: how you keep faith with your vision, care for your people (and yourself), and design structures that make the work possible over years, not just seasons. THE SHOW FLOWPart 1 (60 min | recorded): a live podcast-style conversation happening in real time on Zoom. You’ll join as an audience member (not on camera), with the option to contribute reflections in the chat. Part 2 (30 min | unrecorded): the recording stops, cameras can come on if you choose, and we shift into a more private salon: live Q&amp;A + networking. A safe container for deeper questions, real constraints, and honest “how do we do this?” dialogue.We get into:<ul><li>Business models, income streams, pricing, deal structures</li><li>Routines, boundaries, schedules, energy design</li><li>Collaborators + support (assistants, partners, childcare, tools)</li><li>Identity + story: how you narrate your work to yourself and others</li><li>Adapting to change: platform shifts, client changes, market weirdness</li></ul> EPISODE 03: Mary PingIn this episode of Worth Making, we’ll be joined by New York-based designer Mary Ping, creator of Slow and Steady Wins the Race, a conceptual clothing and accessory line that reinterprets the classical everyday wardrobe. It is built on the belief that high design can be, and should be, accessible to all.In this conversation, we’ll dig into Mary's multi-faceted creative career. A board member of co-host Karuna Scheinfeld's brand Four Objects, Mary has her hands in a lot of pots, supporting her label with work in the art world and the Noguchi Museum, and doing private label uniforms for upscale restaurants. Living bicoastally while running her businesses and caring for aging parents, Mary will share how she balances art, inspiration, and the multiple responsibilities of a creative life. ABOUT <a href="https://www.slowandsteadywinstherace.com/" title="https://www.slowandsteadywinstherace.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE</a>Timely and timeless, unique and universal, created with conceptual clarity, best describe the design philosophy of Slow and Steady Wins the Race by Mary Ping. The work is a continuous investigation into the elements of what we wear, how we wear it, and why. Each collection also contains a commentary on the cultural anthropology of modern fashion, focusing on the fundamental characteristics of design within a wardrobe. The body of work aims to distill fashion to its most indispensable and empirical elements. Slow and Steady Wins the Race is seasonless and proves that good design elicits both an intellectual and emotional response that is ageless, cross-cultural, sustainable—and boundless. WHO IT'S FORMid-career and senior creatives: designers, strategists, writers, creative directors, studio owners, small agency founders, brand/creative leads, and multi-hyphenates, especially those in transition, refining what “success” means now. Also welcome: earlier-career creatives who want a realistic view of the road ahead, and adjacent folks who support creative work. Join us live... you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how real creative leaders are making this work, and more options for designing your own.
