As we close out 2025, I’ve been reflecting on my Word of the Year: RESET.
A great holiday gathering last Friday at Loro Asian Smokehouse, hosted by Kimley-Horn. The full house, great food, and easy conversations made it a wonderful opportunity to reconnect. With perfect weather to top it off, it was an ideal way to end the week. Jing and Deborah enjoyed being part of the celebration.
Thank you to McCord Development, Inc. for the invitation to their holiday party. It was great reconnecting, meeting more of the team, and seeing familiar clients. Moments like these highlight how collaborative our industry truly is. A wonderful evening filled with food, drinks, music, and conversation. Cheers to 2026 and more collaborations ahead!
The Houston CREMM Run, Run Rudolph holiday party was a festive blast! A winter wonderland filled with holiday cocktails, casino excitement, and great company. Guests arrived in sparkling attire and full Christmas spirit for a night of fun and memories, all while supporting BEAR (Be A Resource). It was truly a celebration to remember!
Deborah attended CREMM’s annual holiday party last night, stepping into a winter wonderland where Christmas cheer met casino excitement. With festive “Run, Run Rudolph” energy, guests enjoyed holiday cocktails, lively tables, and a co-ed night filled with fun, friends, and unforgettable moments.
During the holiday season, churches across all denominations serve as places of welcome, reflection, and hope. They are spaces where communities gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the source of joy and peace for many. Beyond worship services, churches host meals, music, outreach, and gatherings that bring people together and reinforce a deep sense of belonging and faith during this special time.
Bisnow recently hosted the sixth annual Houston Women Leading Real Estate Awards, honoring outstanding women across architecture, engineering, and construction. These leaders were recognized for their vision, innovation, and impact on Houston’s built environment. The program celebrated their achievements and the important role women continue to play in advancing the AEC industry.
Jing recently attended the Women in Healthcare Houston Holiday Party, a festive evening filled with connection, creativity, and generosity. Hosted at Kirksey Architecture, the event featured hands-on charcuterie board making with Graze Craze and opportunities to give back through the Houston Food Bank and SEARCH Homeless Shelter. A wonderful celebration of community and purpose.
The REDnews Women in Real Estate and Construction Summit was incredibly inspiring, offering powerful insight from remarkable women leaders. Key reminders included embracing change, leading with confidence, staying curious, nurturing relationships, and walking in faith. Grateful to all the panelists for sharing their wisdom, honesty, and encouragement.
A memorable evening celebrating Clark Condon’s 40th anniversary alongside their incredible team and industry friends. Sheila Condon, one of the few female founders in our field, is a true role model. Her leadership and the legacy she and Beth Clark built continue to inspire all of us who value thoughtful, community-enhancing design. Congratulations to the entire Clark Condon team on this remarkable milestone!
