ABOUT BUSINESS OF DESIGN SERIES

In this free three-part lecture series we will be exploring themes that are taught within our Master in Business for Architecture and Design (MBArch). The MBArch is a program that looks at enabling architects and designers to become better managers, business developers and entrepreneurs.

This year we will be focusing the Business of Design series on how to improve the marketing, public relations and communications strategies that architects and designers should build for their firms. We are bringing three experts with different backgrounds in the field that will share their experiences and help you gain a better idea of what you need to succeed at building that strategy.
