GRANT RECIPIENT SPOTLIGHT
When in Doubt
Jadyn Anderson is a designer at Zimmerman Architectural Studios in Milwaukee and the creator of When in Doubt, a self-published zine that celebrates the stories of women in architecture. Supported by a Wisconsin Architects Foundation research grant, the project began during a moment of personal uncertainty and grew into a platform for conversation about the challenges that often push women out of the profession. Through interviews with architects and contributions from the broader community, the hand-bound zine gathers honest reflections about persistence, identity, and finding confidence over time. By sharing these experiences, When in Doubt invites women to share their doubts within the profession... and asks them to stay.
