How to Think Like an Architect (Even If You're Not One)

Want to think like an architect? Here’s the secret: everything is a design problem. And every design problem has a solution — sometimes a surprising one.

I was trained to analyze structure, space, and flow. But over time, I realized this mindset applies way beyond buildings. It helps you reframe the messiness of everyday life:

• That chaotic morning routine? A layout issue.

• That cluttered cabinet? A system problem.

• That relationship tension? A boundary question (aka, spatial design!).

Thinking like an architect means looking at your life with curiosity and clarity — not judgment. It means asking:

• What’s working? What’s not?

• What am I trying to do here, and what’s getting in the way?

• How can I shape this experience to feel more aligned with how I want to live?

You don’t need a license to redesign your life. You just need a willingness to see things differently — and some support along the way.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to help you explore the design of your space and your life in a way that feels grounded, nourishing, and true.
