MORE THAN BUILDING: BUSINESS, BELIEF & BACKING YOURSELF

Matt Elkan, Architect, 

• Finding your point of view - how prospect, refuge, biophilic design and material honesty shape Matt's approach to architecture
• Backing your ideas - developing a design philosophy, communicating its value and having confidence to stand behind it
• Understanding people - looking beyond the brief to create spaces responding to nature, place, experience and how people feel
• Playing the long game - staying authentic, relevant and curious while building a reputation, business and body of work

MORE THAN BUILDING: BUSINESS, BELIEF & BACKING YOURSELF

John Oxley, Director, Sydney Beach Homes
Join Jane Langof and Matt Elkan for a different kind of MBA evening — a candid conversation about design, business, belief and what it takes to build a reputation around your ideas.
From Jane’s journey from the corporate world to becoming a recognised Feng Shui Master, to Matt’s architectural philosophy around nature, place, materials and how people experience spaces, we’ll explore what happens beyond the building itself.
We’ll talk about backing yourself, becoming an authority, communicating value, marketing and personal brand, mentors and setbacks, staying authentic, understanding clients, health and resilience, and playing the long game in business.
This isn’t a presentation about Feng Shui or architecture.
It’s a conversation about building a business, a reputation and a life around what you believe in
