Best Architecture & Interior Design Professional Development Programme 2025
The UK's first and only coaching and mentoring programme specifically for design professionals.
Created by Multi-Award Winning Chartered Architect & Interior Designer, Ryan Wenham, together with Psychologist and Careers Specialist, Marc Prats.
We are passionate about empowering designers. Grow your business, create a stand-out brand and create consistency with your dream, high-value clients.
How we work
Our goal is to Rethink Architecture and how we as designers interact and build our careers.
Whether you come to us for Design, Coaching & Mentoring, Events or our Graduate Programme, we keep it intentionally simple.
We get clear on the outcome that you want, whatever that might be. Then we create a solid plan with clear steps and decision points, so you are not guessing or overthinking.
From there, we deliver with structure and care so that the work stays high quality, efficient and fun!

Discover
In this initial phase, we delve deep into understanding who you are as a designer, what you have to offer that is unique and who your ideal clients are.
This is an opportunity for self reflection allowing you to understand your business and build a trustworthy personal brand and to grow your confidence as a professional.
During this phase you will be given your
Insights Discovery profile.
What our clients say
Seeing immediate results and receiving validation for my work has been truly transformative. It's those moments that really make an impact and show me how far I’ve come.
I accomplished more than I had expected, and freeing up mental space has made a huge difference in my productivity. Staying on top of the programme over the last few weeks has really helped me stay focused and maintain momentum.
I used to feel so hesitant about making big changes or investing in my business, but your support has given me the confidence to do that. I now see these decisions as investments in myself and my clients.
Anne Rodriguez, UK
Interior Designer
I’ve realised that my own resistance to committing fully to a direction is probably my biggest blocker, not because I don’t care, but because I care so much I want it to be the right thing.
I feel a stronger persona emerging.
Having space to reflect with structure, and beginning to actually connect the dots between my past projects, my skillset, and where I want to go.
Alexandra Bellamy, UK
Spatial Designer
Your support has been amazing; I honestly feel like I’m finally on the right track. I’ve struggled with focus and confidence before, but having you there to guide me has made all the difference. I feel like I understand my clients better and can approach them in a way that builds trust and makes the process smoother for both of us.
I feel like this programme is helping me not just with my business, but with finding balance in my life too. It’s not just about work; it’s about learning how to manage everything in a way that feels sustainable and fulfilling.
I feel so strongly about design people needing this program in their life!
Eunice Aubert, UK, ZA
Interior Designer
Now I have a clear idea and vision on what I want to do and don't want to do.
I am really grateful that Ryan and Marc provided a lot of questions in this programme to help me become more critical and use all the information I have.
I am very impressed with this course and myself as well as I have never been self-critical before.
Ahmed Darouche, UK
Visual Artist
I feel like I am making great strides towards a clear brand and have something clear that I can clearly move forward with
I was able to find the source of my discomfort linking my business with family, which has been huge. It was such a huge break through, I really couldn't t have carried on successfully had I not really dug in and asked myself some difficult questions.
I want to celebrate being a mother, a designer and business owner!
Natalie Milne Morris, UK
Interior Designer
This has all been helping me a lot in my work life, knowing my worth when in a difficult situation. I have learned more about what niche I would like to go into, how to better articulate/narrow down my offering and what specific client I would like to attract.

Design
Before anything else, I am a designer. Architecture and interiors are where I thrive. It's where my passion and creative come alive.
I have always felt that there is a disconnect between what we are taught to be good designers and what it takes to create work that genuinely stands out in the real world.
I feel that the 'one-size-fits-all' approach doesn't work. Every project deserves a response that is specific to the people, the place and the brief, and that is exactly how we design. Our approach is simple. We create unique architectural responses that are functional and beautifully delivered. I have worked across the UK and Spain, mostly on luxury residential projects, and my work has been featured in two international architecture biennales, as well as being part of an award winning design team. I have worked on high-profile schemes, including a landmark regeneration programme on the UK’s largest brownfield sites. We are not about trend or just simply "looking good”. We are here to create designs that feel intentional, and that works. I am a designer that brings a clear point of view, that pushes for quality and makes every project feel calm and professional. We love what we do, and it shows in every aspect of our design work.
Coaching & Mentoring
This started as a small competition and a platform to give designers a platform to be seen, celebrated and showcase their talent, that was published in the AJ.
This quickly became something bigger and is now an international, award-winning programme built for designers who know they have talent, but want the confidence, clarity and business skill to match it.
Ryan started out selling drawings and freelancing. And this has now turned into a 6-figure design business.
We are in the industry, and we lead by example - that’s what makes us different.
Ryan brings the design-world reality, delivering multi-million pound projects with dream clients. Lived experience that we bring to everything we teach. Marc brings the psychology and performance side. He helps designers understand who they need to be to run their business and build the life they want, focusing on those important aspects that design school doesn’t teach us; confidence, boundaries, people pleasing and learning how to talk about money. We help you find your voice and your niche, then we build a clear path to turn your talent into a business that works for you. We focus on how to attract the right clients, how to communicate your value properly, and how to deliver a premium service that clients trust and respect. Then we support you to raise your fees with confidence, increase revenue, and build something that feels stable and exciting. We are not interested in quick fixes or generic advice. We build around you, your strengths, your style and the work you actually want to be known for.
Events
We love to be in a room with people. Good design doesn’t happen in isolation, it comes through collaboration.
Marc has travelled all over the UK delivering and hosting to audiences of hundreds of people. He knows how to hold attention, be his authentic self on stage, and create an atmosphere where people feel safe. Ryan has also travelled the country sharing the kind go practical, straight-talking content that genuinely changes how people think and move in their careers, businesses and in their life.
We host our own events, specifically for designers called the Designer Studio. They’re built to help you build your career, build a successful business, make the right connections and to feel part of a supportive community. You get honest advice, useful frameworks and a room full of supportive, like-minded, ambitious people who are there to life you up. We collaborate with major events as hosts and content partners. We are currently working with Design Central, the UK’s biggest design trade show outside of London, where we’ll be working alongside the team to host the event and deliver business-focused content designed to help designers from across the country grow properly. If you want an event that feels professional, high energy, and genuinely useful - we are the team for it. We don’t care about hype. We deliver real value so that you can leave feeling confident and motivated.
Graduate Programme
We are making an impact on the next generation of talent. The future of architecture.
We have created an award-winning programme that bridges the gap between education and practice. For designers who want to build proper careers, get jobs, and access opportunities within the design industry. We take students and tun them into stand-out professionals.
We have seen massive impact over the last year with our graduates getting multiple job offers in as little as two weeks.
Our graduates are getting hired, finding opportunities in new countries and getting recognition for their work with international publications and awards. And of course, the personal impact; building their confidence and shifting that mindset to become the young professionals that any studio would love to have as part of their team. We do it with structured, tailored support through online workshops, group projects and clear guidance, building real skills and nurturing talent. We know what it is to be a graduate, we’ve been there. This industry can be difficult to navigate and no one shows you what to do or how. That’s where we come in. We are the link between university and practice. The stepping stone for you to design your own career path.
