Evelyn Lee - Leadership in Design, Humanizing Hybrid Work, and Learning From Others

In the latest episode of the Getting Back Into Place Podcast, I spoke with Evelyn Lee, FAIA. In our conversation, we talk about the nature of hard work and fulfillment in career development, architects who pursue nontraditional paths, leadership, and a bunch more.

Evelyn is Global Head of Workplace Strategy and Innovation at Slack Technologies, Founder of the Practice of Architecture, and Co-Host of the podcast, Practice Disrupted. At Slack, she integrates her business and architecture background to build better experiences for the organization's employees, clients, and guests.

For over three years, Evelyn wrote a monthly column for Contract Magazine. She has contributed frequently to Architect Magazine and is currently working with Architizer to develop recurring content on the business of architecture. Evelyn has received several industry awards, including the 2016 40 Under 40 award for Building Design + Construction and the 2014 AIA National Young Architects Award. She recently served as Treasurer to the AIA National Board in 2020-2021.
