Female Architects Celebrate the Women Who Inspired Their Careers
Anjie Cho was featured on Houzz
In the projects we highlight, designers we profile and events we cover, Houzz regularly celebrates creative and inspiring women in design.

We asked women in architecture, a field still dealing with gender inequities, to describe the designers in their lives who have mentored, guided or otherwise positively influenced them in their careers. The answers we got include everyone from world-renowned design pioneers to a generous mentor who helped secure a designer’s first architectural internship. Here are 10 of our favorite answers, from the architects in their own words.
