In the second episode of the Women in Architecture series, Katerina sits down with architect and business owner Liz Sydnor about her journey navigating the second year of running her own business. Liz reflects on the growth and lessons she’s experienced, including the importance of letting go of certain roles to protect her well-being and the ongoing challenge of finding balance between work and personal life.
Their conversation highlights the power of networking as more than professional connections—it’s about building genuine community and support. Liz also shares insights from her upcoming book, which is designed to empower women in architecture by opening conversations around vulnerability, authenticity, and mental health in the profession.
Together, they discuss how authenticity creates stronger relationships, why consistency matters in networking, and how embracing the realities of the profession—from showing emotion in the workplace to architecture’s influence on all aspects of design—helps foster resilience and growth.
