Welcome to another episode of Architectette! This week we feature a conversation with Joann Lui. Joann started in the architecture industry and transitioned into tech, currently working as a content marketer for TestFit. She is also a coach, branding expert, and founded the Women Architects Collective. Today, we focus our conversation on her most recent endeavor, the Mental Health in Architecture Summit which took place virtually in September 2023.

We talk about:
- Joann’s passion for marketing and skills building community, and how they helped her transition from working at Gensler to working as a marketer in the tech world. 
- How the idea for the Mental Health in Architecture Summit was born and how Joann listened to her audience to craft the perfect blend of sessions, keynotes, and workshops. 
- Joann’s big takeaways from the summit- including the surprising demographic that attending the parenting panel, who presented in a bathrobe, and how successful people set boundaries to maintain positive mental health. 
- We also chat about what’s next for the Women Architects Collective!
