How Architecture Nerd Began
The Origin Story
I started this site because after working in the A/E/C and graphic design industry for the past 14 years, I realized that architecture school has failed all of us.
GASP! I know that’s a pretty bold statement.
But here’s the brutal truth: Architecture school doesn’t properly prepare you to run a profitable firm or even give you the necessary tools to be successful as an employee. Yes we learned how to design, but many of us (including myself) were left wondering:

How do we design careers that we love?
I was always told by my professors or firm principals that if I just put my head down, work hard, work tireless hours day-after-day that eventually, I’d move up the ladder and be successful. That’s how it works right? That’s the way it’s always been.
WRONG…so so wrong!
It wasn’t until I started helping my employers with their marketing strategy and branding that it finally hit me as to what I was doing wrong this entire time and it was life changing!
I realized that no matter what stage we are in our careers, we all have the same issue:

While some struggle, others thrive…
Just like in my own job search, I saw many firms struggling with how to get a recurring stream of projects from their ideal clients while other firm’s consistently won bids for their dream projects despite the recession.
I had to know why; what was the secret sauce that set them apart?
Ever since then, I became obsessed with not only studying what strategies top performers are using to consistently win big and have job offers beating down their door, but also how I could convert those same strategies into a proven system to help others gain the competitive advantage they need to take their careers and businesses to the next level.

What is Architecture Nerd?
How We Help You
Anyone can build a pretty website, portfolio, or proposal presentation, but not everyone knows what to say and how to leverage psychological strategies, research, and design to give you an unfair tactical advantage in work and in life.
And that’s where Architecture Nerd fits in.
I created this site to bridge the gap between design school and the actual practice of architecture; between producing and hoping for the best and actually making strategic moves that put you leaps and bounds ahead of your competition.
