ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:

Sandi Lampshire, Principal/Marketing Director, Horrocks. Sandi has been providing marketing, communications, and creative direction in the AEC industry since 1998. What does that mean? It means 26 years of kicking off proposals, meetings with clients and project teams, burning late-night fires, drinking a lot of coffee, getting fired up to win, meeting one million deadlines, celebrating wins and mourning losses, cultivating career paths, building up teams, and learning so many lessons it is hard to write them all down. She is most proud of her ability to build a career and a family concurrently and in growing Horrocks’ marketing team from a one-person operation to a more than 35-person team of awesome sauce. She recently got a certificate in Positive Psychology from the University of Utah, learned how to make a Native American flute out of wood, had a painting accepted into the Utah Women’s Art Show, is still hitting home runs in softball, and dreams of someday leaving the corporate world to live on a hobby farm, make weird art, and write bad fiction.
