Join us for Best Practice, a virtual fireside chat series dedicated to practice operations at architecture firms and beyond.

We’re chatting with Christian Giordano and Bolanle Williams-Olley of Mancini Duffy about how to reinvent a 105-year-old design firm.

Christian Giordano is the most innovative person in the architecture field today. Driven by a quest for learning with 25+ years of experience, Christian – host of “The Anti-Architect Podcast” – is reimagining the building industry with a progressive approach as president and co-owner of Mancini Duffy, a 105-year-old NYC-based architecture and design firm. In 2020, he completely revolutionized the design process as the inventor of the patent-pending The Toolbelt, a software suite that allows users to explore and manipulate 3D models collaboratively in VR to make decisions together.

Bolanle Williams-Olley is chief financial officer and co-owner of Mancini Duffy, a technology-first design firm. She is a dynamic leader within the built industry and the founder of several impact organizations. She is also the author of Build Boldly: Chart your unique career path and lead with courage.
