" I was the first candidate for WoLand's Walk-On program!
I learned a lot, I learned about what the design process looks like in the real world. I learned what it looked like to work as a team, and how to speak with confidence to clients.
I learned how to present a design to a client, I developed mood boards, and creative sketches.
It was a great experience, I could not be more grateful! Thank you WoLand! "

" WoLand allows you to hear the stories of succesful professional women and men from who we can learn, look up to, and get some guidance.
I would recommend WoLand's workshops to any young women in the field of architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design to learn from these women's and me's experiences.
... and also expand their knowledge in other areas that relate to the design field but are not taught in schools, such as finances, construction, and even organizational skills".

" Some organizations give you things... what i've gained from the WoLand Foundation is so far beyond that:
Inspiration, Support, Community, Spark
Anyone who seeking stronger, more diverse, or more robust network would benefit from getting involved with the WoLand Foundation. And they'd be sure to have some fun while they're at it".

" They have helped me remain focused on putting my skills where they are most needed and toward meeting my long-term goals rather than brooding in the uncertainty of the present.
Jus knowing such busy professionals will sacrifice their precious time to have my back has helped me continue to feel community in this time of social isolation.
Woland's efforts to create a safe and inclusive space has given me rrom to explore and grow as a creative and a professional without having to sacrifice being myself".

" I heard about WoLand through my sister, Barbara , who talked to me about her experiences in the Wominars.
Last year, WoLand introduced us (my sister and me) to a possible internship opportunity.
I would recommend the WoLand Foundation to all my architecture studio friends because WoLand teaches you things that college doesn't".

" They were able to quickly connect me to a local firm that granted me my first Landscape Architecture internship!
I would recommend the Foundation to any aspiring Landscape Architect. They are very helpful by providing guidance and support in a very niche field.
Most importantly, they were very friendly, and it was clear that they cared about me as a person".
