The Juggling Act: Firm Management, From Day-to-Day to Long-Term (1.5 LU)

As firm owners (perhaps sole practitioners), we don’t have the luxury of being told what to do on any given day. And it’s up to each of us to set longer-term goals for our practices.

What tools (daily habits, paper records, apps on our computers and phones) can we use to prioritize and organize our time? How do we prevent tasks from falling through the cracks? Are there ways we can track progress, monitor fees, and anticipate problems? How can these tools lead to longer-term success? We’ll explore these questions through a panel discussion and Q&A.

About Your Panelists

Alexander Jermyn received his undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University and a Master of Architecture from Yale University. For over 20 years, he has worked on residential, commercial, and retail projects at all scales for such clients as Forward, Knoll, New York University, WeWork, and Marc Jacobs.

He is a Registered Architect in the State of California, a member of the American Institute of Architects, and a LEED Accredited Professional. In 2007, he received a fellowship from the Vastu Shilpa Foundation in Ahmedabad, India to study the effects of economic development on a local village in Tamil Nadu, which culminated in a documentary film. He has taught the introductory studio course at the University of California Berkeley and continues to participate on student juries at UC-Berkeley and California College of the Arts. He founded the company in 2010 after having worked for award-winning firms in New York and New Haven.

Ines Lejarraga is principal and founder of Lejarraga Studio where she blends art with architecture through material exploration and collaboration. Her firm’s work in installation art, furniture design, and lighting design serve as design studies that influence the larger work. Working closely with contractors, fabricators and artisans allows her practice to push the design forward by better understanding material possibilities and the talents of each craftsperson.

Ms. Lejarraga’s 20 years of design experience includes high end residential, retail, office, and multifamily housing. Her connection to academia has allowed her to integrate her research in design with her practice. She has taught at both UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts.
