Branching off from ArchiTeam's 'Redefining Success', Isi and I continue on the discussion on the definition of success. Looking at what it means to be valued, exploring society's perception of success and the unrelenting pressures that we place on ourselves, together we open questions for ourselves and those who are determined to break through the stigma attached to 'success' and 'value'.
You can find a quick summary of ArchiTeam's 'Redefining Success' here.

Student Representative elect for her cohort in 2018, she actively campaigned for several issues affecting students including work placements, career advice, overworking, time management and unrealistic work expectations. She established a peer-to-peer mentoring program and lead a student-run exhibition.
