Please join me for a compelling presentation: Intersection of Interfaith Design, Small Firms: How Small Firms Take on Complex Challenges with Faith Community Clients
Designing for a faith community isn't just about the building-it's about earning trust, managing competing voices, and guiding clients through one of the most personal decisions they'll ever make. So how do small firms actually pull this off?
Join AIA New Jersey's Small Firm Exchange for a presentation from three small firm leaders who've built real practices around this work:
🔹 Joshua Zinder, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP - JZA+D & Landau | Zinder Architecture
🔹 Eva Read-Warden, AIA - Arkitex Studio
🔹 Ziad Jamaleddine - L.E.F.T Architects
Drawing on projects across the Abrahamic faiths, they'll share how they land this work, structure their teams, manage client dynamics, and deliver on projects with high emotional stakes and limited firm resources.
You'll walk away knowing how to:
✅ Navigate competing voices, funding hurdles, and other faith-client challenges
✅ Earn trust fast through active listening and equitable facilitation
✅ Turn tough conversations into design momentum everyone feels part of
✅ Draw on unexpected experience to design with real innovation-even transcendence
