A Student’s Guide to the Architectural Portfolio

These portfolios come from all over the world and exhibit a wide range of abilities and design philosophies. While we always enjoy seeing the diversity of design and presentation skills offered by the future architects of the world, diversity isn’t actually what makes the greatest impact when we review a portfolio.

How To Write an “About Me” Page That Gets You Hired

You have one page to summarize who you are, what you do, and how you’re different in a clear, concise, and confident way. No big deal! Just tell us why you matter in two to five paragraphs, without bragging. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who enjoys this process.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to help all sorts of people get their websites into shape.
