Now when I picked up the phone to text him on a Saturday...

I think to myself I should wait til Monday.

🌟 Be more like my contractor.

Set that boundary.

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

I'm waiting to text my contractor on Monday.

Why? Because he NEVER answers my texts on the weekends.

Or late at night.

But he'll always respond promptly during business hours.

Architecture vs Tech - Part 3

Architecture firm:

"Why are you going on PTO?"

Tech:

"Don't forget to take some days off."

No matter where you work, take that time off 🌱

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Progress > perfection
Connection > competition
Authenticity > appearance

Let's simply be, and show up, no matter what. 💪💚

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Our keynote speaker showed up in a robe.

Because she was sick with covid and decided to show up the best she could anyway.

No one even flinched 👉

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

I don’t care if you show up in pajamas, no makeup with messy hair.

Because at the end of the day, it's not about the attire or the perfection.

It's about the heart, the effort, and the message.

@CliftonHarness @Prologis @TestFitInc Go team!

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

P.S. I'm starting a series of Architecture vs Tech, what do you want to know?

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Architecture vs Tech - Part 1

A series documenting the difference I see between architecture and tech 🧵

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Why?

Because architects operate out of scarcity and liability.

Tech start-ups operate out of abundance and possibility.

Do you agree? 👇

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

@PaulO_Carroll Me!

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Fun fact: I used to do a lot of test fits at Gensler.

It's the one skill every designer had to learn there.

So my friend Katie and I said we'll start a company doing test fits called "Everything Fits."

But now I work for TestFit.

Everything happens for a reason I guess 😝

[Joann Lui @joannlui]

Being an architect is tough.

But you're tougher 💪
