Part 1 of the discussion, which was held in March, delved into how mental health and well-being are influenced by design and by the spaces we create. Part 2, the upcoming event, places a greater focus on the mental health and well-being of designers as individuals. The event will be an interactive session beginning with a panel discussion and progressing into break-out rooms. The conversation will be led by:

Ann Dang | Ann Dang received her Environmental Design degree in 2019. During her time at ENVD, she became a member of the Spatial Justice Design Collective (SJDC) to produce exhibits and creative works tackling race and gender inequities in architecture. After graduation, Ann worked full time at LOA Architecture and was more involved in SJDC where she became aware of the lack of diversity in the profession. The scarcity of minorities in architecture affirmed her ambition to start her own architecture firm in the future and become an advocate for social equity within the design industry. Ann received a full-ride Sam Fox Ambassadors fellowship to pursue her master’s degree in architecture at Washington University in St Louis, but has decided to take a break from graduate school to prioritize her mental health and wellbeing. Currently, she is working full time at Arcturis, a multi-disciplinary design firm that is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise. Outside of work, she is a part of the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (J.E.D.I) committee for AIA St Louis. The J.E.D.I committee provides programming, training, volunteer, and community engagement opportunities to increase diversity and equity within the architecture field. |
