Cathy Hawley
Women in practice profile: Director, Riches Hawley Mikhail Architects
WHY YOU BECAME AN ARCHITECT I loved making things
ADVICE TO ASPIRING FEMALE ARCHITECTS Form alliances with other women – feminism isn’t an outdated idea
ON CHILDREN I’ve managed it by having a fantastic stay-at-home father and a good home computer
ON SEXISM The most overt sexism I’ve experienced has been from older consultants, never the younger generation
INSPIRATION I’ve had some great female employers, so I’ve never doubted that it’s possible to run a successful practice as a woman
