100% of our students say they would recommend us and our programme to someone looking for a job
You’re setting a great example that you CAN achieve a healthy work life balance in architecture, contrary to what most people have come to accept which is working tirelessly to meet unrealistic deadlines because “that’s just the way it is” which it doesn’t have to be.
I wanted to say thank you for all the support you’ve provided and your patience working with me that I really needed.
Now I feel like I’m stepping in to the next point of my career with a more positive outlook and open mind, the reflections and conversations we’ve had about this being a driving factor towards this.
Linda Tighlit
Part II Architectural Assistant
Firstly, thank you so much for the support, and Marc thank you for preparing me for this interview. Marc your personality assumptions of the interviewer was spot on.
You’ve truly been incredibly helpful. Really appreciate how much support you’ve given me throughout this entire stressful process. Appreciate you
Ceba Alsadi
Visual Designer
Hi Ryan,
I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to send a message to thank you for all your support and guidance since joining the community. I genuinely believe that without your guidance to create an extended portfolio, and then present it confidently during the interview stage, I wouldn’t have landed my job role, especially after trying for three years!!!!!
Thank you so much. Your help is something I will never forget!😊
Miara Noor Sajid
Part II Architectural Assistant
Thank you so much for those kind words , it really means a lot to hear that you see my potential and have noticed the progress I’ve made so far. It definitely gives me a lot of confidence moving forward.
I feel very lucky to have that support system behind me, and I’m ready to give this my all. I’m looking forward to the next steps and continuing to push the quality of my work even further.
Zara Siddique
Interior Design and Architecture Graduate
I honestly can’t express how happy I’ve been to work with you too!! I feel like I’ve grown so much, both professionally and personally. I’ve started to understand my values, priorities and goals in a completely new way. I’m also incredibly grateful for your help with the articles. You know how passionate I am about it! Your advice and support have meant so much to me. And thank you for helping me realize how little I used to believe in myself.
Victoria Tyshchenko

Why did we create this programme?
Hi! 👋
My name is Ryan, creator of Larsen Architecture and this Career Accelerator Programme.
I am a practicing Chartered Architect and a Registered Interior Designer.
As someone who has come through the full design education system, I have always felt that there a standard, pre-determined career path that we are obliged to take, which results in a lack of individuality and creativity - something that we should be promoting within the design industry!
This 'one-size-fits-all' approach to design education leads to makes it difficult for people to stand out, to follow their passions and to get jobs. Meaning that young designers are left feeling undervalued and severely underpaid, especially compared to equally qualified students in other industries.
This is something that we are trying to tackle and is why we have created this programme. You should be able to carve your own career path, design your own future and get paid for it.

The Science behind what we do
Think of the teachers that had the biggest impact on you in school. These teachers were utilising both their innate and their acquired skillset in order to pass on their knowledge of the world to you. The teachers you will remember the most are probably the ones who were highly successful at passing on this knowledge without you even realising that you were involved in a learning process.
This type of learning is “hidden in plain sight” and is not easy to achieve.
But we have worked hard for years in order to develop a programme that does exactly this. We are able to provide you with the tools and resources that you need, whilst letting you focus on yourself, without feeling the pressure of traditional learning methodologies.
Our programme is grounded in the psychology of learning and development and is structured in order to help you discover your unique potential and purpose. Some of our biggest inspirations for the programme, from which you will benefit across all four stages (Discover, Build, Communicate, and Implement), are listed below:

In order to help you learn and implement the above, we utilise coaching methods and a series of resources that are scientifically proven to be impactful in your self-development journey:
-
Personalised one-to-one coaching and mentoring
-
Guidance through project development
-
High-impact communication to sell/market your brand’s identity to potential clients or employers
-
Self-directed learning to fit around your work and any study commitments
-
Spaced repetition helps solidify knowledge successfully and helps build a picture of this self-development journey
-
Continuous refinement through specific, focussed feedback
If you are ready to take action towards your future, book a call with us so we can walk you through the process.
