How do women do it? Architecture is such a time-consuming and demanding career, and at times it gets hard to dedicate time to your life outside of architecture. Is it true that you can prioritise your family and still progress in the industry? This episode explores the balance between motherhood and the architectural career. Our guest, Lisa Raynes shares her experiences as a mother and founder of the Pride Road Franchise. Her story proves that you can have them both! Listen Now! Meet Lisa Raynes, the founder of Pride Road Franchise. Pride Road Franchise grew out of Lisa’s refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. She built her practice in the domestic sector, and then invested to turn her business into one that other ambitious architects wanting a work/life balance can buy into. She’s had a seat on the RIBA Council from 2015 to 2018, been Chair of Women in Property North West, and founded Manchester Curious, an urban architecture outreach festival. Lisa is passionate about seeing other architects achieve their potential, particularly those who have left or are on the verge of leaving, the profession.
