March is Women’s History Month. We are proud that half our team at Indigo is women. The field of architecture has historically underrecognized women even though women practitioners have always made significant contributions to the field, from solar pioneer Mária Telkes to architects Julia Morgan and Zaha Hadid. We are grateful for the contributions of all our women team members to our work here at Indigo. We are taking this opportunity to highlight each of them.

She has been challenged and stimulated by moving between different countries and cities, immersing herself in the new cultures and experiences.
