Afifa Armeen
Part II Architectural Assistant
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
Interior 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

I am more aware of what I need to do, I know more about myself. I am more motivated to work on myself, improve my existing work, it feels like I've been given direction.
Ryan always clearly explains everything. Always getting replies and support. Feedback has been really useful and I got way more than I expected.
Ceba Alsadi

I joined Larsen Architecture with the goal of identifying and improving any weaknesses.
It was a really great experience and exploring myself and my design and just everything. I feel like you guys have an understanding and with your expertise, you know what you need to bring out in a person, in order to bring out a professional profile of a better architect or a better design professional.

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.
