Show notes

Evelyn Mugisha´s architecture and design career journey is bold, daring, versatile and inspiring.  She is an Architect and project management practitioner from Uganda. She moved to Australia in 2019 and currently works at Infrastructure Victoria, an independent infrastructure advisory body for the State of Victoria in Australia. Evelyn shares her fascination for cities, the large scale urban infrastructure that makes up cities and how this infrastructure works. She offers her views on the state and the future of African cities of infrastructure, pointing us to some innovative and sustainable solutions. We are intrigued and inspired by Evelyn's personal and career achievements, specifically her process of transitioning to a different career path with architecture and design as her backbone/foundation.Support the showInstagram: @myafricanaesthetic  Website: https://www.myafricanaesthetic.com/
