Still energized from our time at SPIKE Studio Summer Academy!

SMPS Atlanta was honored to lead two sessions on Visual Presentation Skills as part of our ongoing effort to build a stronger relationship with SPIKE Studio.

Led by Michelle Erste, CPSM and Angel Mallard, CPSM, the sessions gave students the opportunity to explore how visual communication, thoughtful design, and strong storytelling can help bring ideas to life.

The students were curious, creative, and fully engaged, making the experience even more meaningful for our team.

A huge thank you to SPIKE Studio for inviting SMPS Atlanta into this inspiring learning space. We loved being part of a program that invests in the next generation of AEC leaders.
