Lisa Lisutu and Hariklia Pontikinas

Listen in on this sparky, interdisciplinary conversation between Lisa Lisutu and Hariklia Pontikinas from the 2022 Adelaide Autumn Salon.

Lisa and Haraklia met for the first time at this session. Both had been requested as speakers by previous salon attendees and both have a reputation as spirited and lively. The hunch that they would get on, proved absolutely correct. The entertaining conversation includes the healthy banter of architect versus engineer, career highlights, role models and an honest account of their experiences as women working in the construction industry – along with and their most used emojis.
