Experiencing the Profession from Two Unique Perspectives As a child Katherine knew two things for certain: she would become an architect, and she was not a boy. The path to architecture took her to the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee School of Architecture and then into several prestigious midwestern architectural firms. Katherine's first architectural project was programming and designing the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre Complex. The award-winning project was the result of intense workshops and benchmarking sessions with everyone of MRT's company members. The project also proved that a non-profit theatre group could be the corner stone of a larger mixed-use development. The principles, of inclusive design and understanding the projects impact on the greater community informed her design process for the Over the next 30+ years. She has remained focused on designing performing arts venues around the country and in 2013 she founded ORCHESTRA Design Studio, to create spaces that encourage social interactions, celebrate our diverse cultural experiences so we can find our common values and transcend our fear of the other. Becoming her true self was a more difficult journey. A major milestone in the journey was coming out at NATEAC 2016's session on Inclusive Gender Design . She knew that being surrounded by her peers was the best time to leave the closet. Her reward was overwhelming support and encouragement. Given her a newfound confidence, inner peace, and happiness. Since then, USITT, IAVM, AIA, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and several corporations have invited Katherine to present on transgender issues and the importance of supporting LGBT+ rights. She is looking forward to being part of the updated session Design for All Genders – Inclusive Design for Practitioners and Patrons at NATEAC 2021.

Reinventing a 100 Year Old Architecture Firm Through Technology Christian Giordano is the most innovative person in the architecture field today. A visionary who is radically changing the industry through tech-first innovation, he has been highlighted as one of Building Design + Construction's 40 Under 40 Class of 2013. Driven by a quest of disruption with 25+ years of experience, Christian the Anti-Architect is reimagining the building industry with a progressive approach as president and majority owner of Mancini Duffy, a NYC-based architecture and design firm. Giordano came to the 100-year-old firm with a vision to modernize the company, leaving any idea of a stuffy architecture outpost behind, noted Real Estate Weekly. To redefine Mancini as a top design firm, Christian has sparked industry wide change drawing inspiration from some of the tech-forward companies Mancini works with like Peloton, Disney, Verizon, and Soho House focusing on technology that can propel the world of design forward. Christian saw a unique opportunity to recalibrate Mancini's approach emphasizing technology to transform the way designers across disciplines work. He launched a research & development incubator dubbed the Design Lab which brings together designers, technologists, and clients to leverage technologies like Virtual Reality, 3D Printing, Drones, Generative Design, and Artificial Intelligence to break barriers limiting design capabilities. What began as an internal incubator, it has quickly grown to disrupt the way the design process is facilitated. In 2020, Christian completely revolutionized the design process as the inventor of the patent-pending The Toolbelt, a software suite that allows users to explore and manipulate 3D models collaboratively to explore and make decisions together. In 2021, Christian launched The Anti-Architect Podcast to share his futurist approach to design and architecture. A critical look at how architects work with their clients and how our clients see us. Christian is a member and board member of the prestigious Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) and also serves on the advisory board of New York Building Congress and Ranney School. He received his Bachelor's of Architecture from University of Miami and his Masters of Architecture from University of California, Los Angeles where Frank Gehry was his professor. Christian resides in Monmouth County, New Jersey with his family. He owns over 500 bootleg CDs of Bruce Springsteen concerts and is a skilled extreme cake decorator.

Association of Professional Builders Sky Stephens is the co-founder of the Association of Professional Builders, a business coaching company dedicated to improving the residential construction industry for both builders and consumers. Sky is a firm believer that residential home builders deserve to be earning more money for the service they are providing and that consumers deserve a superior service than they currently receive. The problem is the difficulty of delivering world-class service on tiny margins, or without having the proper systems in place. In order to maximize client experience and overcome these difficulties, the Association of Professional Builders helps builders systemize their building company. The result is an improved client experience which leads to more demand. This allows an increase in margins and ultimately the ability to scale their businesses into desirable building companies that possess real value and can be sold as an asset.

Stories of the Women Who Built the World She Builds Podcast is a podcast featuring the seldom told stories of women who build; women whose worth is not taught in schools, but who have shaped the industries of architecture, construction, and development over the last century. The podcast was started by three friends who, after graduating from architecture school together, wanted to fill in the gaps in their education and share those with others. Jessica Rogers is a Miami native that now resides in Washington D.C, working at the AIA National Headquarters. Jessica attended Design and Architecture Senior High, a magnet art school in the design district of Miami. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture degree from Syracuse University, where she also served as treasurer and historian for her NOMAS chapter. At the AIA, she manages and develops programming and resources for emerging professionals and women in the profession. She is passionate about helping others succeed, elevating the voices of those underrepresented, and creating a more equitable profession. Outside of work, she continues this charge as the co-host of She Builds Podcast, elevating women in the AEC industry through storytelling. Elizabeth Raar (Lizi) is a licensed Project Architect, originally from West Michigan, who graduated from Syracuse University. Currently she works for Polsky Perlstein Architects in Marin County, California on single-family residential projects. She enjoys making a project functional yet beautiful for the client. Elizabeth is also committed to promoting women in the AEC profession through co-hosting She Builds Podcast . On the podcast, they feature stories of women in history who have shaped the built environment and industry. Elizabeth loves sharing stories of women who haven't been showcased in the past, in the hopes that women will play a more equal part in future architectural history. Norgerie Rivas is an Architectural Associate from Puerto Rico who graduated from Syracuse University, where she served in the council of the Architecture Students Organization. Today she works for eStudio Architecture in Houston, Texas. There she has worked on commercial, healthcare, aviation, and retail architecture projects from design through construction.

Saving America’s Modernist Architecture George Smart's life changed dramatically after he visited Fallingwater in 2007. That led him to a late night Google search, which became a website, which became a community. Now his small but intrepid nonprofit staff and volunteers have built the largest open digital archives – free and searchable – of residential mid-century Modernist design in the world. George is founder and Executive Director of USModernist® and NCModernist®, nonprofit organizations dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist design. America’s mid-century Modernist architects and their original clients are almost all dead; their houses have been sold several times; and the local real estate community would just as soon market teardowns as find new, caring owners. Despite many Modernist houses aging over the 50-year mark, city councils and preservation groups have a hard time considering Modernist houses to be historic – because 50 years later many still look like the future.

From Artist to Architect Music and literature. Philosophy and physics. History and math. As a student, Lee Skolnick equally prized and devoured these subjects. This passion for knowledge across disciplines led him to architecture, where they all converge. This interdisciplinary view informs Lee's approach to every project. He creates narratives that unfold as people move through his designs, all senses engaged. His work can educate and entertain. Convey meaning and emotion. Provoke thought and imagination. Lee achieves this through a keen understanding of how humans make sense of the world and themselves, which is to say, storytelling. He generates a fully integrated architectural experience to transcend a space's purpose. Since the 1980s, he has been awarded Architectural Digest's AD100, the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement from The Cooper Union , the Lifetime Achievement Award from AIA Long Island, Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Leicester in Great Britain, and his work has won numerous local, state and national AIA Honor Awards.

A Quest to Create, Design, Inspire Bryn Young is the architect and founder of BYoung Design, a residential design studio in San Diego. She has a background in architecture, interior design, and entrepreneurship. Her path to business ownership has been a little unconventional. She knew she was an entrepreneur from a very young age and had many businesses by the time she was in high school. She started her design career in interior design, receiving a degree from Chico State in interior design and a business degree in entrepreneurship and small business management. After school, she returned to San Diego to work for her family's construction company, where she learned estimating and gained a deeper knowledge of construction. Eventually, she started and ran their design-build side of the company. After a few years working in design-build, Bryn went on to get her masters in architecture from NewSchool of Architecture and Design. She continued to work on design-build and grow her own business while in school, which led to a successful start of her career upon graduating and 2 AIA awards. Bryn has felt the push to expand and evolve BYoung Design into more than just a typical residential architecture firm. She is involved with her community and is on the Board of Directors at the La Jolla Historical Society. Most recently, she has launched a blog and podcast called Design Create Inspire, which is designed for entrepreneurs, thinkers, designers, and creatives. She continues to work on residential projects while also being able to teach and inspire her community. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, A Quest to Create, Design, Inspire.

Building a Coaching Business for Revit Users John Kinney went to school at Roger Williams College in 1982, then went to the Boston Architectural Center. He started in 1984 at a local architectural firm as an office person and has spent the last 36+ years in and around Boston, MA at many architectural firms, both large and small working on the technical aspect side of the business. John’s background in CADD started roughly after his first year in an architectural office when he jumped at the opportunity to be one of the first young architects in his office to be part of the new CADD department. Then in 2008 at the age of 44, he volunteered to be part of the newest trend in the office: BIM. During the next 2 years at that firm, he went from being a novice to the firm's BIM Manager. After being laid off, John decided it was time to do what he did best on his own: he started JFK Drawings, Models and Renderings, a consulting firm aimed at helping architects to better use Revit. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Building a Coaching Business for Revit Users.
