Female Leadership at Louis Poulsen and How They Support Equity Within Our Profession
Three Questions with Louis Poulsen.
Getting to know Shimahara Visual
Imagine the working woman in the 1960s. Mad Men is one of the first television shows to come to mind that gave us a dramatized glimpse into what work culture was like for women in the 60s to how we’ve progressed today. Spoiler alert: we saw Peggy Olson start from a secretarial position to ultimately leading presentations for a top client - a job reserved for the head honcho.
How are you managing during the pandemic?
We’ve using a lot of new technology. After many months, the work from home routine is familiar, alternate days at the dining room table and office desk in my case. We’re learning to interface with little images of colleagues, co-workers, friends, and associates on the computer screen and I’m trying not to overthink how my face looks on the monitor. We’re figuring out how to separate work life from home life since everything happens in same place, all day, every day. We seem to be managing.
But, how are you managing during the pandemic?

Making a Difference, Close to Home
Every day it seems we're inundated with news that makes us question what's happening, what it all means, and how we can help. It doesn’t seem hard to know how to react, but it is difficult to imagine how you can make a difference. If you're part of the design and construction industry in Southern California, we have a few ideas for making a difference, right here at home.
