“To be a design professional requires us to rise up out of our self. To diplomatically work within a collaborative environment. To ethically advocate for the best project and make recommendations that sometimes do not want to be heard but you do it in a way that is receivable because you are emotionally aware of how your tone and body language can come off.” - Elizabeth
