from ArchTalk · host American Architecture

In this episode, we delve into the journey of May B. Rames, an architect whose rigorous training laid the groundwork for a versatile skill set, transcending traditional boundaries to explore adjacent career paths. Through a comprehensive architectural course, she acquired a formidable arsenal of skills, honed through the arduous process of design and project realization. This solid foundation enabled her to seamlessly transfer her expertise into new domains, navigating through diverse landscapes and cultures across continents.  Despite initial concerns about diverging from a linear career trajectory, her experiences proved invaluable in cultivating a rich tapestry of skills and perspectives. While her peers followed a more traditional path towards principal ownership, she embraced the opportunity to explore new avenues, harnessing the nuances of different cultures to enrich her professional journey.  Central to her story is the insight gained as a design manager at Haskell, a company renowned for its innovative approach to Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) projects. Through her experiences in both the UK and USA, she offers invaluable lessons on effective communication and team collaboration, providing a glimpse into the intricacies of navigating diverse workplace cultures.  Join us as we uncover the secrets to success in architecture-adjacent careers, guided by her personal cheat sheet for effective communication and leadership.   Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://americanarchitecture.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Social Media Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/americanarchitecturemedia/⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-architecture-media⁠⁠⁠⁠/ Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/americanarchitecturemedia/⁠ Disclaimer: Reference to any specific product or entity does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by American Architecture.
