Mining stories that wear, work, and matter.
by Mine Like a Woman
Welcome to Impact Journal. A space where design, mining, history, and humanity intersect.
Here, creative process meets lived experience. A shirt becomes a record of care. A photograph becomes memory. A story becomes connection.
Mining has always been more than rock and machinery. It is culture, invention, and the people who hold communities together. Impact Journal tells those stories, from the families who fed the strikes to the engineers who built new worlds underground.
Each piece is written to remember, to design with intention, and to recognize the people whose work has shaped the world we inherit.
An Archive of Care and Courage
In every mine, mill, and community hall, some stories refuse to fade. This journal gathers them with care.
-
Stories of impact. People and moments that changed mining and the cultures around it.
-
Design notes. Dispatches from the studio and the field where ideas become visible.
-
Cultural archives. Reflections on art, music, and movements that continue to influence industry and identity.
-
Voices of heritage. Interviews and profiles that document the human side of progress.
Impact Journal lives between Peggy Bell Design and Mine Like a Woman. It is both studio and story. It asks what we build, why it matters, and how we can carry those legacies forward with care.
Behind the Design
Behind the Brand reveals how ideas move from concept to culture. Each design begins with research, memory, and care, transforming heritage into something people can wear. This is where sketches, symbols, and stories come together to build belonging. From studio notes to creative reflections, it traces how identity becomes visible through design and how every piece carries the mark of those who shaped it.
