One of the most exciting messages I received this year was from Jenny of Silvan telling me she has been chosen as a Royal Institute of British Architects Grand Designs House of the Year Judge!
I was immediately bursting with pride and excitement for her because not only is Jenny an incredibly knowledgeable architect and lecturer, she also cares greatly about the impact of her work on the Earth. Her work is focused on the intersection of sustainability and design and has built a business with her values at its core.
We first worked together a few years ago on a Brand Story Experience to create a whole suite of images and videos for her website.
Then over the summer, after getting her amazing news, Jenny decided it was time for some new portraits so she could send RIBA an updated one for their website - swipe to the end to see which she chose.
We mooched around a local green space in the late afternoon, talking about the importance of making new portraits as we change physically, mentally and spiritually and how she firmly believes the previous personal brand visuals we made, made her stand out to the judge selectors.
Congratulation again Jenny!! 🎉🎉🎉
