Women In Design

Rain or shine, our community showed up 🌧️✨

Last week, we explored the transformation of Boston City Hall Plaza and learned about the design strategies shaping a more welcoming, accessible, and resilient civic space.

A huge thank you to the team at for leading such a thoughtful and engaging tour! 💛

🌱 Thank you everyone who joined us for our Spring Open house. We were so excited to see new faces - if you are new here - welcome to the community! And thank you to BSA EPNet and Midcareer Mentors for the support on our speed mentoring programming.

Join us on Dec 2nd to celebrate the winners of the 2025 WiD Award of Excellence. RSVP link in our bio.
This week we will be highlighting the winners - starting with Diana Nicklaus!

Diana continues to champion women’s leadership across the profession and has served in key roles with the Boston Society for Architecture and Professional Women in Construction.
