In December, architecture firm BWBR entered its 100th year and named Stephanie McDaniel president and CEO, the first woman in the firm’s history to hold the title. She brings a true passion for people and design as well as a commitment to transforming lives in Minnesota and beyond. Believing that true equity in architecture starts with representation, McDaniel, a member of the BWBR board of directors, has nurtured the firm’s Equity Task Force, amplifying voices and making its culture and design practices more inclusive. She’s also leading the charge for more sustainable design in the St. Paul-based firm.
