2020 Women in Construction: Erin Curran, Design Project Manager at Office Gallery International

March 27, 2020 - Spotlights

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? Working with a couple not much older than me who own two successful medical software and e-prescribing companies designing their new office space to suit their needs and companies’ unique style and energy.

When I’m not working I am…Chipping away at renovation projects in my own home getting ready to welcome our first child!

What are you doing differently in 2020 that has had a positive impact on your career? I’m consciously trying to keep a calmer mindset and having more confidence in myself, which has translated to better connections with clients. 

What trends are you seeing in your field this year? Continuing to see clients wanting open, more modern layouts and to bring the outside in. It seems clients are really trying to hire a younger crowd and they’re doing that by updating their spaces.

Who or what inspired you to join the construction industry? I’ve always been a creative person and I started working in design at 16. I actually designed my parents’ home addition in back in middle school by using my favorite computer game “THE SIMS” – my dad still talks about that! I went to art school and majored in sculpture and I’ve been able to perfectly combine my career with my three-dimensional thinking skills, design work and outgoing personality.
