This is because we are on the edge of a complete flip in how every service industry functions, including medicine, law, and architecture.

What are the lessons I have learned from starting a firm, working for other people, and serving residential clients over the past 10 years? What are my design values and how can I attract clients that share these values? This then allows me to better serve the clients I work with. Fixed-fees address many of these issues.

This post is my contribution to an international blog series called #ArchiTalks. This month, the #ArchiTalks topic is “Back to School”, so I am encouraging my fellow small firm architects to go back to school themselves and learn what they need to know to find the work they want and live a life they’ll love. Who are you?

Your Interns Could Be Your Future Clients. What if you viewed your junior staff as one day they might be your future client? That’s a scary thought.

Five years spent in an architecture school are nothing less than a roller-coaster that persuades you to find hidden values and varying purposes.
