As a result of all this extra time working – along with working in a small firm, I was given opportunities very early on in my career and I was able to take advantage of them. This meant that I could spend as much time as I wanted working on a design problem as long as I met the overall deadline.

During the first 16 weeks of 2013, I published a series of blog articles called the Entrepreneur Architect Academy. Each week I introduced one of 12 critical topics fundamental for a successful architecture firm. Thank You for an Amazing 2013. I will share that in another post another day. It’s been an incredible year.

Since the vast majority of my career has been spent in small firms, I tend to create redlines that are more narrative and collaborative in their nature. I don’t think I necessarily create redlines like most architects, at least not like any of the ones I know. Redlines are typically created to indicate mistakes or missing work.
