Architect My Life

“The best way to know what you’re capable of is to throw yourself in the deep end and make all the key decisions.”

In this episode, Richard Naish talk with Aya about how he built , scaled it sustainably, and kept creativity at the core of every project.

From mass timber buildings to the carbon-positive Living House, he dives into what future-ready architecture really looks like — and how strong relationships, culture, and reputation can grow a firm without traditional marketing.

If you’re an architect, designer, or studio owner, this conversation will shift the way you think about scaling your practice and designing for the future.

Today is my last official day of work for 2023. Many of us will be sharing and recapping our accomplishments for the year, which I am excited to read. I would like to share one of my favorite quotes that had a profound impact on me this year!

Viktor Frankl on success:
"Don't aim for success — the more you aim for it and make it a target, the more you're going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself."
-From Man’s Search For Meaning

May you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy time with Family. Relax. Reflect. Re-energize.

See you in 2024 !
