recommend us and our programme!
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
I have learnt many things about professional application by working with the team and Ryan. I have gained more confidence in myself and how I carry myself. This programme is the real deal. You're meeting with real professionals who know what they are talking about. They are here to really make your success their mission.
Can't recommend Ryan and Marc enough, they honestly so good!

Course Details
We provide professional development for Architects & Interior Designers to start & grow their businesses through client connection.
For individuals, freelancers and small-medium design studios.
This self-paced digital course will teach you how to connect deeply with yourself and your audience so that you can truly understand your clients needs in order to attract, nurture and convert high-value, “dream” clients that will appreciate your professional value, paying a premium for a distinctive, bespoke service and outcome. We do this with the help of Insights Discovery, a psychometric tool used to improve communication and self awareness.
We bring structure to your business, your marketing and your social media, developing a personal brand and company narrative that inspire people to work with you, following a simple step-by-step strategy.
It’s so important to be able to resonate with our ideal clients and build trust so they buy you, before they buy your services - incredibly important when working as a small business. Clients are so passionate about their projects that their decision is made through emotion, going beyond the level of experience and knowledge you have, but by the person you are, your story, your talent and what you are like to work with.
By focusing on individuality and uniqueness and pushing against the ‘one size fits all' approach to design, we connect smaller design studios with clients that respect and appreciate your unique skillset and are willing to pay for it.
This approach means that we, as professional designers, can be paid correctly and fairly to create progressive, career changing designs that will move the industry forward!
We understand that stepping into your full potential is not just about having the right skills - it's about following a focused framework to get you to your goal.

Hi! 👋
My name is Ryan, creator of Larsen Architecture and this Professional Development Programme.
I am a practicing, Chartered Architect and a Registered Interior Designer.
I have always felt that there is a disconnect between what we learn to be successful designers and the essential skills needed to run a successful design business.
I feel that the 'one-size-fits-all' approach to design education is outdated and we should be focused on unique solutions that allow designers to celebrate and share their individual talents, fostering creativity, better design and pushing the industry forward; and so, I created this programme.

Why did we create this programme?
The Science behind what we do
At the heart of our programme is Insights Discovery; a globally recognised psychometric tool that helps you understand your personality, your communication style, and how you naturally show up in the world.
But more importantly, it helps you connect.
Understanding how you work is the first step to running a business that feels aligned understanding how others work. That’s how you build a brand that resonates deeply, communicates with clarity, and draws in your dream clients - the ones who truly value what you do.
This is where Marc comes in. As a psychologist and communication specialist, Marc brings the depth, structure, and emotional intelligence that elevates this programme far beyond a business course. His guidance helps you understand not just your strategy, but your style; how you lead, how you listen, how you respond, and how to create meaningful, lasting connections with the people you’re here to serve. Because business is personal.
If you don’t know how to connect with others, or communicate who you really are, you will never be able to demonstrate your value to your ideal client.
This isn’t about boxing you into a colour or a type. It’s about giving you the insight and language to confidently show up as yourself, build trust with your audience, and position yourself as the only choice in a crowded market.
This is the difference between sounding “professional” and being genuinely powerful in how you communicate.
Our entire programme, from Discovery to Implementation, is designed with this psychology in mind.
We don’t just help you build a business.
We help you understand yourself, your clients, and the people around you — so your business feels like a natural extension of who you are.
And when that happens, the right clients feel it too.
