Helping Architects & Designers Build Extraordinary Careers
Cover image for Land Your Next Design Role
Land Your Next Design Role in 60 Days Most architects don't struggle because they're not talented. They struggle because they aren't positioned correctly. Through portfolio reviews, resume optimization, career strategy, networking and interview preparation, I help architects and designers build a clear roadmap toward their next opportunity. Whether you're applying for your first role, changing careers, or moving into Product Design, UX, AI or leadership, your career deserves a strategy—not guesswork. If you're feeling stuck, start with a Design Career Diagnostic.

Cover image for ⚡ Portfolio Review -----> 3
⚡ Portfolio Review -----> 3 job offers A highly skilled architectural designer spent six months waiting for job offers that never materialized. Despite an impressive background, their design presentation was holding them back. We completely overhauled their architecture portfolio layout, narrative, and project framing. Within 60 days of launching the new portfolio, they went from zero traction to securing 3 competing formal offers. 🏆 The Results - Time to Traction: Inbound calls and interview requests started within 14 days of the update. - Total Offers: 3 formal job offers secured within 60 days. - Timeline Reduction: Shortened the client's job search stagnation from 6 months down to a 2-month conversion window.

Cover image for From Harvard GSD to Building
From Harvard GSD to Building an AI Startup My career has never followed a straight path. - Architecture in India. - Graduate studies at the University of Michigan. - Harvard Graduate School of Design. - Building Zenoya, an AI-powered platform for architecture firms. Each chapter taught me that meaningful careers are built through curiosity, experimentation, and intentional decisions—not by following conventional paths. That perspective shapes every mentoring conversation I have today.

Cover image for Portfolio Transformation Why Great Portfolios Still
Portfolio Transformation Why Great Portfolios Still Don't Get Interviews A portfolio shouldn't simply document projects. It should communicate how you think. This framework focuses on storytelling, positioning, project selection and presentation to help architects stand out.
