What Architecture Taught Me About Building a Life
Learn how the principles of architecture can help you design a meaningful life.
April 30 2026 | Side Pony | 8:00–9:30 am
What if you approached your life the same way an architect approaches a building — with intention, creativity, and a clear vision for how everything fits together?
Join us for a special Amigas Coffee Talk featuring architect and entrepreneur Bonnie Sen, co-founder of BARI Architecture. In conversation with Amigas Means Friends founder Samantha Sarine, Bonnie will share how the principles of architecture — clarity, beauty, structure, and functionality — can help us design lives that are aligned with our passions, priorities, and values.
From her upbringing in India to studying design in Scandinavia and building a modern architecture practice, Bonnie brings a global perspective on how thoughtful design can shape not just buildings, but communities and personal journeys.
Together, we’ll explore how we can all become more intentional about “architecting” our lives. From our work, to our schedules, our passions, and our impact.
What We'll Talk About
This Amigas Coffee Talk will be an intimate, conversational morning exploring themes like:
Bonnie’s journey from India to Scandinavia to leading an architecture practice in Denver
Lessons from architecture that apply to life and career design
Entrepreneurship, collaboration, and building something meaningful
Balancing creative work, professional growth, and personal life
How small intentional choices can shape a bigger vision for your life
What You'll Walk Away With
A fresh perspective on intentional living and career design
Inspiration from a creative entrepreneur and passionate sustainabilty leader
Practical ideas for aligning your work, passions, and priorities
Meaningful conversation and connection with other Amigas
