2015-2020

When I was in architecture school (especially my first year), I’ve received LOTS of great advice from my upperclassmen. Advice so great that I believed they had to be shared.

I think that their advice and the other things I learned helped me achieve great things in school like ranking first, being a dean’s lister throughout, earning scholarships, and graduating with Latin honors.

I feel so blessed to have met these people.

I started the website on my fifth year (November 2019)—believe it or not, I had the most free time during this year.

But I thought I could push through even through my professional life, since the journey could still be of help to somebody.

2021

I became a junior architect on January 2021. It was a great start to my experience.

I worked with amazing clients and got to work on projects from different phases.

From working on site to in-office, it was really exciting. That said, it wasn’t all rainbows. Little by little, I saw things that were wrong, and began to have some realizations.

2022

At this point, I had already worked at small firms and corporate.

If you know any person in architecture, you might have heard of some of the downsides in the industry.

There were plenty of things that I realized they don’t tell you in architecture school.

And it was this year that I thought, I’d take content writing full time instead.

2024

Girl Boss Architect is staying strong now at 5 years.

With the mission to make architecture easier and provide a sneak peak on what it could be like, it has been a great and moving journey.

I hope that whatever article you start with, you’d find it helpful and continue to read more of the free resources available.

Because GBA’s purpose is to inform and help guide future architects around the world.
