Jessica Newhouse, Hall + Haven

The inaugural WDC Project Forum featured a presentation of a development challenge by WDC member, Jessica Newhouse who founded Hall+Haven. She received real-time feedback from a specially-selected panel of development advisors, Amy Erixon (Avison Young), Madelyn Kirsch (SMMC), Eve Picker (Small Change), moderated by Eileen Marrinan, (Eigen10) and facilitated by Adrienne Teleki (Willdan). We ended our program with a walking tour along King Street to the Alexandria waterfront and Torpedo Factory Art Center where we visited its 82 working artist studios and 7 galleries.
