Join us at the Land8 Virtual Conference! (Now with video!)

As part of the Land8 Virtual Conference, Gina joined an amazing lineup of speakers to host a webinar, “Cutting Against the Bias” on April 21. The conversation about gender in design practice often leans in on the challenges as opposed to the agency of women designers.
