re:Making + your Revit Family Library I’ve been interviewing a fair bit recently, as well as picking up the occasional independent project for front-end work that firms don’t have the staff to play with.

L3arn 2 C0de (buildings)
As a portion of the many discussions that I’ve been having lately about a return to employment, there are 2 common themes that seem to be ‘evergreen’ complaints about this profession. They’re being raised by those doing the hiring about the people that they’re interviewing. The two largest things that seem to be an issue with those… Read more
The Pressure Mounts
Anniversaries Measuring time to gauge one’s growth and accomplishment is usually a good thing… It sets a check point, at which you can break the passage of time into comprehensible blocks. This allows a snapshot of life, so that you can check in with yourself & loved ones to see just where you’ve been and adjust where… Read more
Load Bearing Towel…
LoadBaringTowelsFebruary 13, 2021 – the phone rings. It’s my sister. I could tell right away that something was wrong.

The Road Less Traveled to Licensure

Life has come to a long pause, and people are out there, suffering loss. Unemployment + Self-Employment For the second time in my life, since the age of… Read more
Existing Conditions – Upside-down and backward
OverallBackground In the interest of writing it all down to share… I’m discovering what I’ve sorta always known.

Over the last 10 days or so, I was granted… Read more
Write it All Down
It’s been almost 3 months since I posted anything. Well, not entirely true. It’s been 3 months since I wrote it down in here. There’s been a lot going on, some good, some struggles, and life in general. I’ll break this apart in to digestible separate posts – but one thing is clear to me.… Read more
Logos, Fonts & Graphics
Logo01_BarnMuch like the quests for everything else, the path starts about 20 steps before I assumed it did. Design is design is design… so that part never changes Of course as a designer, we make pretty horrible clients, unless you come to terms with the idea that for your personal graphics – everything is in… Read more
For every task, there is a tutorial…
You want to know how to go thru building a portfolio? That’s right – make & retool Revit templates, graphic standards and maybe you build a PC to (re)produce all the visual media. I’m still here, I’m still working toward something – but telling the story properly has become more of an epic tale than… Read more
