Q & A With Annabelle

Tell us about your organization. What makes it interesting?

I work for Populous which at its core is an architectural firm. The architecture side of the company mainly builds arenas, ballparks, stadiums and convention centers all over the world. The division of the company I work in is the events division and we focus on temporary event builds. What is really cool about the work we do is that all of our solutions are design and temporary architecture focused. We lead with design and we produce incredible drawings that guide the operations for building out and planning major events. To bring event management and design together allows us to think creatively and provide solutions that one style of thinking doesn’t always deliver.

What personal characteristics must a person have to succeed in a role like yours?

In a given year, I travel about 40-50% of the time. The job balances multiple projects, multiple clients and often events in multiple cities. Having a high attention to detail, being able to balance multiple projects, staying on top of deadlines and having the mental and physical stamina to work on the road is really important. From a characteristics standpoint, having ambition, a desire to learn and grow, willingness to do a task for the project and really being proactive are qualities that have allowed me and my team to be successful.
