My name is Jonathan. I’m an architectural designer based in Atlanta. I graduated from architecture school in 2016 and have (by design) been employed in 4 different firms since then. I’ve worked in small, medium, & large offices, and have experience in residential, commercial (adaptive re-use, mixed-use, multifamily), and industrial work. I’m in the process of taking my licensing exams.
Architecture is more than a career; it’s a lifestyle – and, quite frankly, I’m a little obsessed. That’s what this website is about: an obsession with architecture, and creating a community with others who share the same passion. My blog posts are about topics that pertain to both students and professionals.
If you have any questions, comments, or blog post requests, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to contact me directly:

“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
