Get live feedback on your design & presentation workflowÂ
When you’re in design school, you’re surrounded by constant feedback—people are always looking at your work, sharing ideas, and helping you improve. But once you’re out in the real world, that changes fast.
Some of us end up in big firms, others in small studios, and many work alone from home. In those settings, real design feedback becomes rare—and yet, it’s still so essential.
That’s why I’m offering a short 20-minute Zoom session where I can look at your process and give you honest, focused feedback.
But before we meet, please make sure to watch the short preparation video. It’s important that we’re on the same page, so we can use our time well. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it, no problem—just let us know and we’ll reschedule.
This is also about something bigger:
The more efficient you become as a designer, the more doors open—better job roles, more time for yourself, and yes, greater financial rewards. But you can’t do it in isolation.
That’s why staying connected to a design environment—even once a month—can keep you sharp, inspired, and growing.
Looking forward to connecting.
Warmly,
Jason

For Emerging Architects (Students & Recent Graduates):
Design school was never just about the projects — it was about the people.
Being part of a studio meant growing in public. You could pin up a rough sketch and get instant feedback. You saw how others approached the same brief differently, and your thinking sharpened through the exchange.
But once you graduate, that sense of shared growth often disappears.
In practice, feedback is rare. You’re expected to perform, not explore. And yet, without regular critique, our creative development slows — or stalls entirely.
Carving out just a bit of time each week to talk design, share work, and reflect with others can reignite that momentum.
It’s not about going back to school — it’s about bringing back the culture that helped you grow in the first place.
For Freelancers & Independent Designers:
Working solo doesn’t mean growing solo.
When you’re running your own projects or freelancing, time is everything. But without someone to bounce ideas off of, challenge your assumptions, or push you to sharpen your presentation — it’s easy to drift into patterns.
Design is iterative. But iteration without feedback leads to dead ends.
A regular space for critique and conversation — even once a week — can provide the clarity and creative tension that’s missing from solo practice.
You don’t need a big team to think better.
You just need to stay connected to people who get the process — and aren’t afraid to question it with you.
For Firm-Based Designers (Working in Teams):
Even in a busy office, feedback isn’t guaranteed.
Architectural teams often focus on delivery — not development. There’s pressure to keep moving, but not always space to think deeper, sketch slower, or get perspective on your ideas.
That’s why structured time for design discussion outside of project cycles is so powerful.
It reintroduces the culture of critique — not to tear down ideas, but to build them up with clarity and care. It keeps your creative edge sharp, even when the work is routine.
A design community isn’t just for freelancers or students.
It’s for anyone who wants to keep growing — especially when surrounded by the noise of production.
How it works:
We meet every Tuesday on Zoom for inspiring and practical sessions focused on design growth and creative collaboration. These meetings are held in partnership with Mentorship, bringing in valuable mentorship and insight each week.
To get the most out of the experience, we encourage you to share visual imagery of your work in our Discord group. This space allows you to receive real-time feedback, support, and encouragement from peers and mentors alike.
Our groups are intentionally small—usually between 5 to 15 people—to keep things personal, engaging, and focused on your development.
The next step is to contact me or our team to see if you are a fit for our weekly community.
In friendship
Jason Josselsohn
