Empowering Women In Design Through Storytelling

Continuing education will be provided by AIA Detroit.

Women's professional design journeys are made up of successes, failures, and everything in between. Embracing these vulnerabilities can assist in crafting our own personal story to see how far we've come and where we want to be.

This event is both for the emerging professional with a budding career and the seasoned design professional alike. Through facilitated, interactive discussions and guided, group exercises, the attendee will define their career highlights and strategize how to maximize these in leadership.

This workshop will be held at HOK + ROSSETTI, a Detroit design haven, overlooking the city skyline. This networking event will strengthen ties within the Detroit women's design community.

Refreshments provided!
