Architect-in-training. I want to make the world a more beautiful place through design, research, activism, and rock climbing.

@Julie_Hiromoto @AIANational Q5 I want to see more informal meetings, webinars and training. @L2DesignLLC Imposter syndrome is real, and the only way to break it is to practice confidence. #aiachat

@Julie_Hiromoto A4 Yes! Of 14 years studying and practicing architecture, I've had a sponsor for two, and it has changed the course of my career. We should all keep in mind that we can both be sponsored and sponsoring, too. #aiachat

@Julie_Hiromoto Consider the demographics of your graduating class, then look at any architecture publication. Listen, be intentional. For senior men, find a way to invite women with you. For all men, build strong work relationships with women. Practice equity, not just equality. #aiachat

@Julie_Hiromoto That is a great point- from personal experience, I feel less sure of myself if I feel that I'm being treated 'gently'. Bring on the constructive criticism!

[Maraya @MarayaMorgan]

@carolynabate She definitely is!!

[Maraya @MarayaMorgan]

@Julie_Hiromoto Speak up, support, encourage. When your colleagues have great ideas, give them spoken credit and build up their points/efforts/initiatives. #AIAchat

@Julie_Hiromoto Awareness is spreading, and bigger firms are beginning to self correct for past shortcomings thanks to the efforts of man women and our male advocates. Architecture's progress is also tied up in the current Zeitgeist acknowledging women's stories. #AIAchat

@Julie_Hiromoto Picking one is hard! Jessica Sager of @HKSArchitects for stepping in unasked as mentor and fierce advocate. Her mentorship in my career has been so meaningful, because she is a person whose skill and confidence I so admire, and watching her work helps me see a path forward.

How can women stand out in a male-dominated field? Hear how Holly Arnold, @HKSArchitects VP overcame that challenge https://t.co/2MNtP1YAXY
