Architecture is the career you make it. Join me and my guest Dee Nicholas for a fearless exploration of the DIY career path.
We talk about how to live your purpose no matter what, why it’s important to keep evolving and asking “what’s next,” Dee’s multi- and trans-disciplinary work and above all how architecture is about so much more than just building things.
We'll cover:
Why you should always ask what’s next. Always
Believe that you can take the next opportunity in front of you and go for it no matter what. Don’t judge your own qualifications and if you see a path open up, look for ways to solidify your credentials doing that thing.  That’s what a thought leader does.
Do not define what you do by anyone else’s standard. Who says you can’t be an architect/artist/researcher/social justice crusader/polymath whatever?  Because I guarantee you, you already are wearing multiple hats.
Stay Inspired,
Angela
