Standing at the intersection of leadership, story, and design
Karen Robichaud is a communications strategist and facilitator who helps architecture and design firms strengthen design culture, clarify their stories, and build organizational capacity through thoughtful inquiry and collaborative practice. She has guided award-winning submissions, strategic initiatives, leadership retreats, and workshops for firms across the profession. Karen is particularly interested in how the AIA Framework for Design Excellence can serve not only as an awards tool, but as a shared language for reflection, learning, and continuous improvement. Her workshops combine practical application with facilitated discussion, helping participants develop greater fluency in communicating and evaluating design excellence.
