My name is Lethe-Ann Kazeh-Anfo. I am Ghanaian, with roots in the Upper East Region of Ghana, where my family is from. 

 

When I was ten, I watched our family home get built from scratch. We lived across the street in a small two-bedroom house, and I became fascinated with seeing simple materials become something big and permanent. It was so cool! I've been chasing that feeling ever since.

 

That curiosity led me to architecture, and eventually to Virtual Design and Construction, where I found that the most meaningful work happens before a single beam goes up. I now work as a VDC professional, managing multiple projects simultaneously across BIM coordination, preconstruction planning, clash management, and field technology adoption. My goal in every project is the same: make sure what's designed actually reflects what gets built, and that the people building it have the tools and information they need to do it well.

 

Over the last few years, I've pushed that further. I've been building AI-powered tools designed to make VDC workflows smarter. Some examples being an interactive drone operations hub that replaced static PDFs and SOPs with a searchable, filterable training system, and model comparison dashboards that give preconstruction teams real-time visibility into scope and quantity changes. These are tools in active use, built to solve problems I face every day on the job.

 

I'm pursuing my MS in Construction Management and Technology at Arizona State University (expected July 2028), with a focus on computational design, digital twins, and how technology actually gets adopted inside AEC organizations, not just implemented.

 

The long view: I want to lead construction technology at a scale that reaches beyond the projects I'm on. That means leading digital delivery programs at a scale that reaches beyond individual projects and developing the next generation of VDC professionals who understand both the tools and the construction reality behind them. I also aim to bring what I've learned back to Ghana and Africa, where the built environment is growing fast and the opportunity to do it right, with better systems, smarter tools, and people who know both the technology and the culture, is real and wide open.

 

I still love buildings and making them beautiful and lasting. I've just found more precise ways to help.
